Lemon Cake House was a bit of an oasis of peace in the lovely and relatively quiet Estrella neighbourhood. It felt very safe even at night - the Prime Minister's Residence is just down the street! Lovely parks close at hand. The more touristy neighbourhoods of Lisbon are easily reached by foot or public transit which is also close by.
Elizabete herself couldn't have been more helpful with her suggestions and support. The apartment is small but has everything needed.
