The apartment was perfect for what we needed! It was a great size, the bed was comfortable and bathroom/kitchen were lovely and modern. The location of the place was actually perfect and 10 mins walk from major parts of the city. We walked everywhere. If you come out the door and turn left there are 2 cute local cafes, perfect for a quick and cheap breakfast. There is also a local shop and pharmacy just round the corner. If you turn right out of the door you come across restaurants and more leisurely cafe's and eateries. The Roastery cafe does lovely salads and sandwiches and there was also a sea food restaurant that looked lovely but we didn’t go to, but it seems many famous people have visited with their pictures on the wall. Once you go past this corner keep exploring down the road and you will find everything you need. One row up from the apartment you will also find all of your designer shops. Lisbon is a gorgeous place to explore and enjoy and Raquel's apartment and hospitality made the experience perfect. I would tell anyone to visit this place and you won’t be disappointed. Getting to and from the airport on the way back using the subway was extremely easy (Be aware the closest metro stop Avienda? and a couple of others on the blue line are closed on Sundays, you’ll have to make a little walk up the hill where the designer shops are to find the metro that is open). There is a little noise from the builders at the back of the building, but nothing too early and it just helped us get out of bed and explore the city. Enjoy your time in Lisbon
