The apartment was just as pictured, a nicely renovated older property with high ceilings and big windows. A nice size for 2 people! The only disadvantage we found was noise from the road, as this apartment is at the front of the building and has single glazed windows. The location I would describe as on the edge of the Bonfim neighbourhood which we found some cute coffee shops and bakeries. The walk to the centre/ river area was tiring after a few days so we resorted to the metro - Heroísmo station is a 5 min walk from the apartment
