Firstly Sara was a fantastic host, meeting us at the apartment late in the evening with a smile and a bottle of wine. She spent time going through instructions for Wifi/TV/oven/shower etc. and then showing us the sites on a map, giving restaurant recommendations. She even popped in to reset the wifi one day when we couldn't get it to work, we went out in the morning and she had it working by the time we got back!

The apartment is about a 10-15 min tram ride from the city centre, and 5-10 mins ride to Belum where lots of tourist attractions like the Torre de Belém, Mosteiro dos Jerónimos and Belém Palace are, so actually it was an ideal location. It is very near to the April 25th Bridge and the marina/docks and was a lovely 20 min walk along the river to Belém.

We were very close to a the LX warehouse, a group of warehouses converted into restaurants and boutique shops, as well as being 1 min from a large supermarket, coffee shops, cash point etc.

The apartment itself was great, very spacious (more so than the pictures), only slight negative was be the trams going past - if you didn't have ear plugs this might wake you up in the morning, but we were fine. The kitchen is fantastically well equipped, bedrooms were large (one has a walk in wardrobe!) and beds comfy.

I don't think you will find a better value for money apartment in Lisbon.
