This place was a great apartment at a great location! Close enough to all the sites, yet away from the frenzy of it all. It was at the top of the hill, so you get the cool breeze coming up off the river/harbor from both sides to keep cool. There are windows and full-length doors on three sides, including roll-down shutters, to open up or close as needed to control the temperture inside. The apartment itself is very spacious, with a typical small thin outer balcony around it to stand and watch the world pass by from above. It the back corner there's a tiny sitting area for a couple of people to watch night fall over the city. The view is terrific. It's located directly across from the National Botanical Garden and Natural History Museum. Down the main street is a lovely neighborhood park (Jardim do Princpe Real) with two corner kiosks for coffee and a pastry/sandwich, and inside the park is a simple cafe/restaurant that showcases local musicians in the early evening. Down at the botton of the hill along the side street is a totally charming other little park (Parca de Flores) with a handy grocery story (for basics) and nice cafes and restaurants. If and when I come back to Lisboa, this place would be #1 on my list.
