This was a really stylishly refurbished apartment in excellent condition, exactly as seen on the listing photos. The apartment is perfectly located near both the Ribeiro river front with the port lodges visible on the opposite bank and Sao Bento station and metro station convenient for getting to the airport is just 10 minutes walk away.
The major building works to the next door building referred to in other reviews did not bother us as it finished by 5 pm and did not resume until after 8 am and the thick walls and double glazing to a great extent insulated us from the noise. We are already considering a return trip next year.
