The property is exactly as pictured, extremely clean, very well equipped with lots of little extras too and very welcoming.
Alexandra arranged for us to meet with her colleague Sandro at the apartment and kindly allowed us to drop off our bags early. We were slightly delayed so really grateful he waited for us. Communication with Sandro and Alexandra was excellent. We read reviews from some people who complained about the smell from the restaurants next door but have to say we never experienced any smells at all. We ate twice at the restaurant next door at No 49. Really simple restaurant with a lovely proprietor, freshly well cooked meat and fish, enormous portions, no frills but lovely atmosphere and so cheap compared to restaurants in town. Apartment is just a few meters from the bakery where we bought our cakes for breakfast, cheese and ham cobs for our last day and expresso coffee is only 50c. Nothing Alexandra can control, but each evening we went out and returned someone we believe either from the Senegal restaurant next door at no. 41 or from another apartment in the block was sitting on the doorstep of the entrance to the apartment but they were polite, apologised and moved away for us to enter. The apartment is is a good central location and only 5 mins from Rossio Metro station
