The location is perfect, absolutely perfect. It is right in the center of everything, and not at the bottom of the hill which would make you have to walk way more hills to do things. Its also lively and feels safe even on weekday evenings. Lots of bars and restaurants. Marilia was very nice and welcomed me with some delicious port and pastel de nata; she also answered all of my questions about what to do and where to eat. My one issue was that I chose the apartment because I believe it said it had a workspace and showed pictures of a sofa chair and table. However, the workspace turned out to be communal, and outside of the apartment. The other "workspace" in the apartment was a metal stool and table. Very cute and perfect for a little work, but not comfortable for house of sitting.
