The location was perfect as it was a short walk to São Bento train station, had several good restaurants with in a few minutes walk and had 3 different grocery stores with in a 5 minute walk. The view from the balcony included a great night time view of the Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar. The balcony was great for both breakfast and an evening glass of wine. The apartment had everything we needed and would definitely stay here again.
