A nice little apartment on the 2nd floor. Very close to the Santa-Apolonia station. There is also a GREAT full-service grocery store in that station. We were able to get nice ingredients and make a couple of meals plus prepare some lunch-snacks. The kitchen is well-equipped, and there was some Nespresso pucks for an early morning coffee. There is also a little local grocery store just up the street (<1min walk!) for any little stuff that you need (salt, wine, beer, port, meat, cheese, veggies, pasta, .....)
There is a restaurant downstairs/next-door, but it was never too noisy.
Lots of street activity, so it was amusing to just lean out the windows and watch the local neighborhood activities.
It is still close to the 'core' of downtown, but it was much more "relaxed".
