This apartment is in a great location close to the water. We were able to easily explore downtown Lisbon on foot and loved being able to hear the hustle and bustle of the city from the balcony. The train and metro are also nearby which made getting to the castles in Sintra very easy. Our host was very responsive and allowed us to leave our luggage in the apartment on our first day before check in.
We liked being close to several little markets where we could stock up on inexpensive wine/olives/cheese and we also bought supplies to make American breakfast in the well-stocked kitchen. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own food when we wanted to - pots, pans, cooking oils, spices, plates, utensils, toaster, kettle, etc.
As all of the other reviewers have noted, the view from the balcony is incredible. You can see the sunset from the balcony with the table and the sunrise from the little ledge by the bedroom. I also sometimes watched the sunrise from the tiny bathroom window, it was so beautiful! You'll get a workout climbing the stairs as there is no lift, but it's worth it if you can manage. I highly recommend this place to first-time visitors (like ourselves) and those who looking for great nightlife. If you don't want to hear the noisy streets at night, there are thick shutters you can close to keep most of the sound out. We had a fantastic time!
