don't judge a book by it's cover, or neighborhood.... this was a last minute booking as our plans changed and we needed a place in Lisbon for 2 nights and needed something close to the airport. We arrived late at night and Maria was wonderful about it and gave me direct and great instructions on how to get in. On arrival, the apartment was spotless, with towels on the bed and warm. The bed is super comfortable and the shower is wonderful. It is a simple apartment and you can see they have taken care to update a few things. The neighborhood isn't anything you will want to explore, but let me tell you that the people are amazing, super friendly and extremely helpful. We went into the cafeteria up the street and to the left for the best coffee, pastel de nata and where the neighbours go. Everyone is so friendly and happy, and you can tell they all take care of each other. We will go back just for the people!
