I stayed in Marta's place for about 6 days while in Lisbon for a conference. I'd recommend this place for the location -- First, It's near Marques de Pombal with easy access to the Yellow and Blue Metro lines and many buses; and Second, because it's not in the heart of tourist Lisbon, the apt is exceptionally quiet and you don't have to worry about loud folks right outside your window, which tends to be the case in Alfama and Baixa-Chiado. There are also supermarkets and cafes right around the corner. Unlike old neighborhood buildings, this one also has an elevator which was great for those of us with suitcases. It was also very clean. Marta was very responsive and helpful. The apt was sightly tricky to find in the beginning, so it 's good to tell drivers the cross-street.
