Though we loved the layout of the apartment (two sepearted bed rooms, ideal when traveling with a friend), I had severe allergy problems inside. I suspect that there is still a mold problem, though you could see that the owners tried to fix it. My travel companion didn't have problems, therefore it probably depends on sensitivity. The apartment lies in a neighborhood where a lot other Airbnb, hostels and boutique hotels are. Therefore it's quiet, good brunch (+excellent coffee shops) and dinner spots nearby but of course doesn't feel particularly Portuguese.
