Sofia is a great host. Always responsive and very helpful. She arranged transfers from and to the airport. (Very useful and reasonably priced).
The apartment is well situated a 15 minute walk from the center of town in an older neighborhood made up of winding streets that are great to explore. There is a wonderful array of restaurant choices all along the street, all local and most very reasonably priced. Also small supermarkets with 2 minutes of the front door.
The apartment is 5 stories up, which means there is a great view. Because there is no elevator it also means lots of exercise, but Lisbon is built on 7 hills so you will be doing lots of walking up stairs anyway.
Safe neighborhood, modern feel to the apartment and the Wi-Fi works very well. It’s got all the necessary accessories to feed yourself if you want to, although with the great and very reasonable options to eat out you won’t want to eat in that much.
It’s a little noisy at night - I mentioned the plethora of restaurants and bars up and down the street, so come prepared. Nothing so bad we couldn’t sleep.
It’s a 5 minute walk down the hill to the train (for Sintra) and the metro station and you can get the bus to Belem and to the train for Cascais.
The apartment worked very well for our family of 5.
When we return to Lisbon we would definitely stay with Sofia again.
