The location of the apartment was excellent. Close to train stations, cafes and shops. There was works happening above our apartment that was constantly happening for a couple of days which disrupted our morning sleep, however there was a sign in the building where it notified us which was a good heads up for us. If you have a family this will be excellent apartment to stay in. If you don’t like catching public transport there was that option of catching an Uber to Rossio Square or anywhere else. I just stay Uber trips were very cheap! Overall we loved our stay at Helena’s apartment. She was a great host who was very welcoming and very efficient in responding back to us!
