The apartment is comfortable, bright, secure and well equipped, and can comfortably cope with three guests. It's best feature is good sized terrace and small garden at the rear. There is a small wrought iron balcony at the front.
It is located in a vibrant residential community, quite different from the sterile hotel environment.
It is true that the apartment is centrally located, but it should be noted that it is on a hill, with steep cobbled lanes to be negotiated. It is also on the second floor of the building.
None of this should be a problem for younger reasonably fit guests, but older or infirm people should be aware.
As we are of the older variety, Uber became our best friend for the week. Incredibly cheap, they took us everywhere we wanted to go. This solved any accessibility problems for us.
Restaurants and bars? Well they are everywhere. Several at the bottom of the hill, several hundred five more minutes away.
Lisbon? Fantastic city. Go.
And thanks to Isabel - an attentive host.
