The apartment in the convent was very gorgeous. It was a huge space with a lot of beautiful tile work. The apartment was also in a fantastic area of Lisbon and you are close to things like Barrio Alto and many new restaurants. This space would have been great for entertaining and we wished that we did not have to ask for permission to invite any friends or family over and give time slots. We felt bad that we had to ask and did not want to bother the host. Although we understood why the security was so tight, we would not recommend staying here if you have friends in Lisbon and would want to have them come over. If you do not, then definitely stay in this apartment which was full of beauty and charm.
