The location is wonderful, central and walking distance to many things, including nightlife, bars and cafes. As with any apartment in Portugal, you must be ready to climb stairs, as there is no elevator - the apartment is located on the 6th or so floor. We were disappointed by the "view" on the patio, as it overlooks an unsightly courtyard of neighbors backyards. There are also dogs kept outside nearly 24 hours and the barking can be disturbing. There was also a fair amount of mold found throughout the shower and window in the bathroom. Otherwise, the apartment was clean and well decorated. The hospitality was wonderful, checkin was quick and easy. There was also an abundance of host suggestions of local eateries. Overall we had a very nice stay at this modern apartment.
