The apartment is lovely and clean but if you are driving, parking is difficult. The area is quiet and a nice change from the tourist scene of Lisbon. That said, you will have to travel to see some of those sights from the apartment, whether by public transportation, cab or walking. We were a family of five and the apartment was spacious for everyone and all our clothes and items. Beautiful walk-in closet that I would love to have at home! Manuelas husband met us at apartment and was kind and helpful. We had an enjoyable stay in beautiful Lisbon. Thank you!
