This apartment was wonderful! It was bright, airy, and provided everything we needed for a week long stay just outside of Lisbon. We took the train to Cascais very easily (2 blocks away), and could train or Uber to anywhere around Lisbon so quickly - and even walk! We walked to the popular Belem area because it is that close! The Mercado just outside the apartment is great, too, with a market open in the mornings and a variety of restaurants/cuisines available in the afternoon until late at night. Yes, it can be loud, if you have the bedroom window open, but when it's time to go to bed, just close the window and use the built-in fan (or AC) instead, and you don't hear a sound from outside! We slept so well - the bed is one of the most comfortable we've ever been in on vacation, and we really appreciated the AC/Fan system in every room, to add some extra breeze sometimes. Pedro & Elisabete were very communicative and checked in after our first night to see if we needed anything - super sweet. Since this unit is on the lowest floor, though beautiful, the hardwood floors of the building do carry a lot of sound - so chances are you will hear your neighbors upstairs walking around. This only bothered us in the early morning when we were trying to sleep in a bit after late nights enjoying the city!
