Apartment was in a great location - on the edge of the commercial/tourist area and the more residential section. Most things within 10 minute walk - Santa Justa train station to the northeast, trendy up-and-coming restaurants to the northwest, major shopping streets to the southwest, and main attractions south. Apartment was great and everything was in order. Be aware that the higher "loft" area has a short ceiling (about 5 feet high) - I didn't fully appreciate that from the photos beforehand but no worries at all!
