We had a wonderful time in Lisbon, and a large part of that was Paolo's apartment and its location in Madragoa. The apartment was sunny, spacious and welcoming and if you like cooking there are great resources nearby for fresh fish, meat, vegetables and fruit. When you don't feel like cooking there are many restaurants in the neighbourhood of good standard for casual dining. One of our favourites that we went to three times was 5 metres from the door of the building - great food with a Brazilian, Angolan spin to Portuguese cooking and a very drinkable house wine.

The apartment was within a short walk from shopping districts like the Chiadp and the 28 tram that traverses the downtown and the Alfama is a few minutes walk away.

The area is generally quiet.

Thanks again Paolo for the use of your great apartment
