The apartment was perfect and so close to areas we wanted to visit (albeit up some steep hills!). Heating worked perfectly as it was quite cold at night (we visited in January) despite it being lovely and warm during the day. There was plenty of space for a group of 5.
The vintage tram runs to the beach every 20 minutes from right outside the apartment and it was approximately 15 minute walk to Ribeira (and the bridge) and up to Baixa.
We booked a transfer through the host as we needed to leave at 6:30am and this arrived exactly on time as promised.
we didn't get to visit the restaurant underneath the apartment as this was closed for holidays although the local cafe opposite and burger restaurant a short way down the street were great. We also loved the vintage emporium with bar/cafe just a few doors down. There is a also a small supermarket a short walk away.
