Apartment was centrally located in Biarro Alto - one of the livier districts in the city. The accommodation was minimal, modern and immaculate - we instantly felt comfortable and relaxed whilst there. I was a little concerned about night time noise, but needn't have worried - there are no busy bars directly by the apartment. I guess things were completely silent by midnight. Once you get your bearings you will find the place is quite close to the Metro, the river front, tram 28, and the castle. The Time Out Market is down the hill - about 15 minutes walk and definitely worth a visit. Opposite there you have the train line to Cascais, and the Metro to Belem - both worth a visit. Carlos was in touch regularly and came up with some good bar and restaurant options - he recommended 'Park' to us for an evening drink - it is on the roof of a multi-storey car park and gets you late afternoon sun with spectacular views in a cool setting.
If you want to be in the heart of things yet enjoy peaceful nights, this is the place for you!
