The location is excellent for the old district. There is a lot of building works going on which makes it difficult for access and also being dropped off especially with lots of luggage and two children. The apartment is spacious and clean and comfortable but if you are after a much more luxurious accommodation then there are better alternatives. There are excellent places to eat and the metro is extremely close to the apartment. Overall the apartment is good. Helena was an excellent host. I think that our 4 stars was purely related to the second place we stayed in lisboa which was very luxurious
