The apartment looked just as pictured. Location was great, facing the river. The location allowed my husband to walk to great restaurants, shopping, and sight seeing. We took a taxi from the airport to the apartment, but walked to the train station to ride to our next destination (Lisbon). It was a bit hilly so if the weather is not fair, if you have heavy luggage, or your health does not allow a slightly strenuous walk, it might be best to catch a cab. We had a great stay and would recommend.
