The apartment is in a spectacular location. The river is one way and only about 3 minutes walking, while all the shopping, cafes and restaurants are about 1-10 minutes away! The busiest street for shopping Rua de Santa Catarina is only 12 minutes. The apartment is clean and comfy.
However, there are a few cons, if you are visiting during the summer, there is no AC. Even thought the open windows provide a breeze from the outside, the apartment can still get pretty hot, especially, if you have been out walking in the sun all day. Another downfall, is you have to leave the windows open at night if you want to keep the apartment cool, but because the apartment is in such a busy area, the noise is very load from the outside. If you are a light sleeper, this may be a issue.
Another downfall, is there is no washing machine. If you need to wash clothes, you can walk about 2 minutes down a hill to a laundry mat or wash clothes by hand.
Overall, the apartment is small and comfy. I only gave the place 4 stars instead of 5 because of the A/C situation.
