The apartment is beautiful, spacious, and newly renovated and clean with all of the amenities needed for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The patio was a wonderful touch and it was a relief to be able to do laundry in house :). There are pans and basics for cooking and 2 mini markets within a minute of the apartment. The location can't be beat! The neighborhood is just off of the fancier shopping street Avenue Liberdade and a 6 minute walk to the major train and trem lines - tons of taxis and tuk-tuk cabs roll by too. I am sensitive to sound, so I noticed that a few dogs in the apartment building sometimes barked until very late in the evening. Thankfully, I brought earplugs and the windows were double glazed. All in all, a wonderful stay, lovely hosts, and a great value. Thank you so much !
