The apartment is comfortable, very clean, well-equipped, and pleasant. We owe special thanks to Teresa for making possible two of our best experiences in Portugal: introducing us to Margarida, our driver and now friend, and helping us get tickets to a fantastic Ana Moura show at the colliseu. Margarida should definitely be listed as a driver in their "blue book." She is excellent. Thanks also to Teresa for suggesting Uber--that really made a huge difference.
Two recommendations for neighborhood restaurants: Bistro Edelweiss, (a Swiss bistro), Rua de Sao Marcal 2, and Dona Quitera, Travessa de Sao Jose 1. The latter place is tiny and on Sundays they have Fado. Reservations are a must.The little local grocery store at the foot of the street (turn left out the door) is very good and the person working there in the afternoon speaks excellent English and is very nice.
We definitely recommend this apartment.
