Location is quite unique …not so central but easy to cross into other neighbourhoods via Lapa or the other non main roads which are less steep walking and much less traffic. Lovely outlook direct onto green and tree filled park and very effective double glazing meant apartment is quiet despite proximity of main road. Lots of interesting cafes close by ….Trevo in particular for superb value and home cooked lunch menu. Overall the apartment location is much better than first impression and lots of scope for exploring the less touristed parts of the city. Apartment itself is small but comfortable with a really unique view into the local city park opposite. I enjoyed my stay in this neighbourhood overall ….lots of walking and exploring and a clear sense of living in a real community rather than a tourist centric location.
