Ana met us at the apartment and gave us some helpful tips about visiting Lisbon, along with a folder of useful information. The location was very convenient, within walking distance of many things, and also very close to the route of the 28 tram, and a short walk to the station at Cais do Sodre, handy for getting out of town. There is a medium-sized supermarket conveniently nearby.

The street itself is actually a lane/alley, pedestrian only where it passes the apartment, which has little foot or other traffic. It was very quiet at night and into the morning, though with occasional noise in the evening from neighbours or nearby public spaces. It was great to have this space to come back to after exploring Lisbon.

The kitchen is simple but usable, the internet is fast, the style is modern and fun

However, there was a smell of damp/drains in one corner of the apartment, which was not ideal. We kept it as well ventilated as we could, but during November the weather is not always warm, so this was inconvenient.
