Catarina was very welcoming and flexible about check in/out times, which was great, but best of all were her recommendations of places to visit and eat which were spot on, ... perhaps she is telepathic? :)

The apartment is as described (with a firm bed and a good shower) and in an interesting multicultural area where you will find places to eat and drink all close by. Our rule of thumb was if it was well lit and crowded with people all talking in Portuguese it is a good place to eat. Be aware that Portuguese servings can be very generous! The apartment is very close to transport but if you walk you will see more interesting things on your way to the centre. I personally recommend getting lost at least once :)

Lisbon is a very beautiful city and this apartment made our stay much more fun and romantic than staying in an anonymous hotel.
