The apartment is in a very good location. It is a short walk (often uphill on the way there or back) to several main transport hubs and the area is well served with restaurants and cafes. Many of these cater mainly for locals. Our hostess Ines welcomed us very warmly and as it was 14.00 she recommended a typical neighbourhood restaurant for lunch before it closed. It was so good and reasonable we went there again on our last day. Ines has a very useful book with information about restaurants, grocery stores, etc. She also helped us book taxis to and from the airport. The kitchen was well equipped but in our 4 night stay the only meal we prepared was breakfast. The apartment has a wonderful feeling of space and there is a nice patio area to sit out in. The bedrooms are a good size and two of them are ensuite. Only one of the three bathrooms has a shower/bath. The others have walk in showers. The towels were quite new and a good size and the bedding is good. We visited in October and had the bedroom windows open. There was some noise from the street but one would expect this in the middle of a city and it did not stop us sleeping. The apartment has lovely wooden floors but this means that sound and noise does carry. We would recommend this to anyone wanting to stay in Central Lisbon.
