A nice appartment, small but efficient with only a couple of minor problems with loose doorknobs and the like. The location was perfect in relation to many tourist attractions, markets and public transportation. My wife and I prefer to walk as much as possible and this was a perfect location from which to explore the old part of the city. The neighborhood is rather poor but ver quaint and we never felt uncomfortable there. There is also a great little pizza restaurant around the corner of the little square in front of the appartment. Joana our hostess was great and welcoming with a lot of good tips for where to go and what to see. Especially her advice to take a day trip to Sintra, an historic village near the coast. It was the highlight of our trip. Our only complaint would be about the bed as it was rather uncomfortable. For the rest we would definitely recommend staying here.
