Lovely apartment in a quiet neighbourhood. Fantastic views from the terrace. There is no elevator -only three flights of stairs that narrow after the first floor, so you have to carry lugguge one bag at a time. I didn't have a problem with it, but might be a problem for older people. The #735 bus runs one block away and it's about a 10-minute walk to the #28E tram. It took us a day before we became familiar with what direction the bus and tram were running but asked locals for help. We usually walked to the city centre (there are some steep hills) and took transit or a cab at night. A cab ride is about $6 Euros from the city centre. The first night we took a cab because we were tired after a 13-hour flight but the taxi driver missed our street and had to circle around - we knew he had passed it but didn't recognize our street to tell him to turn down to the apartment. A tip: walk up Rua de Machado de Casto two blocks and familiarize yourself with that corner where it meets the main street. Also, a tip about tipping: 10% is considered adequate. But some restaurants already add tip, so check.
