The time that we spent in this apartment was awesome. The neighborhood is very residential and it is very calm around. There are a lot of options to public transportation very close to the apartment like the train is just down the hill, pretty close, the bus pass up the street in a corner where you can take the it to visit the beaches of Cascais. There are a lot of restaurants, coffee shops, mini markets and other stuff around. There is a big shopping center where you can go walking just 15 min away. It is not in the most crowded place of Lisbon, but, for a family, it is best to be in a calm neighborhood. In the end, it was perfect for us.
