This apartment is in a great location. It is a very nice space and the owner provides many amenities! Access is granted using key codes for the street entrance and for the apartment door lock. It is not too difficult to walk to the waterfront if you wish or take a taxi for 5 or 6 Euro. We would walk downhill and use a taxi back most days. We visited in early May so the weather was not too hot. Since there were three of us, a taxi was probably cheaper than a tram and no waiting! There are many excellent restaurants within one block of the apartment and several coffee shops, too. A small grocery store is also 1.5 blocks away on Rua Rosa where you can find fresh fruit, bread, water, beer, coffee and soft drinks. A taxi stand is at the park - Jardim do Principe Real at the end of the block. Two blocks the other way is the Jardim de Sao with great views and a place where one can enjoy a glass of wine in the evenings. You will also find TukTuk carts; one of which we employed for a tour of the city on the first day to learn where many things are to see and do in Lisbon. The apartment is nicely equipped with a good kitchen, although we did not cook in the apartment. We only used the French press coffee maker, toaster, refrigerator, sink and the clothes washer. We brought clothes soap. Wet clothes would typically air dry in the apartment during the day while we were out. There are good views from the apartment and we appreciated the elevator every time we used it. Some others have commented about the noise from the street at night. We were there for May 1 so the partying went on until the early morning. We found that we could cool the apartment by opening windows for several hours when we returned in the evening, then close the windows near the street, lower the blinds and use the two provided oscillating fans to make a breeze in the bedrooms at night, and the sound of the fans neutralized the noise from the street. Problem solved! The bed in the master bedroom is very large and very comfortable. We left the windows at the back of the apartment vented at night to help cool the space. One of us would also sleep on the sofa which is in the quiet part of the apartment. We did experience a water leak from the plumbing one day which was a problem for the apartment below. This seems to be the problem mentioned by others in the past which was thought to be resolved. The water leak did not effect us and the owner was to have this fixed after we left. I suggest you ask the owner about this before you make a booking.
