The location of this apartment is fantastic. Our first time in Lisbon. There were enough restaurants, cafés, mini-marts, book stores, etc., that we really never needed to walk more than a block or two. Be prepared to do some uphill walking though. The apartment is a short walk down/up a steep street. Not really an issue I think unless you have mobility issues. The host recommended some nearby restaurants that were very good and economical. The apartment was as advertised and the host was available and even allowed us to drop off our luggage a little before check-in time so we could explore. For us the apartment was part of a great vacation
