This is really the place to stay in Lisbon. With all the things you need to feel really comfortable. The little patio in the back is really a plus and would make a difference with other places. It is designed very well. Another major plus is the public laundry place right in front of the apartment building. This, alone, is a major difference if you are staying a few days and need to take care of your clothes. It is a real quite street, but a couple of blocks around, you will find all the attractions of the Bairro Alto (pubs, cafes, restaurants, mini markets and also a hospital). It is like three blocks from two of the major attractions in Lisbon, the Miradour of Pedro de Alcantara, where you can enjoy a great part of your day or evening watching the city down below and the famous Gloria funicular, which takes you right to one of the only kind of flat places in town, the Avenida da Liberdade. There is a gorgeous church right next to the funicular. I highly recommend a little restaurant right across the Miradour, in one of the corners. It is called Brasil. The food is great and absolutely cheap. This little place has everything, from drinks to pastries to meals. This apartment is really one of the best ones I have stayed in Europe. And it is on the ground floor, so you don't have to sweat if you are carrying a lot of luggage.
