The apartment completely lives up to the expectations as from the pictures shown on this site. It is really spacious and light. We felt at home immediately.
We were welcomed by Miguel's parents, very friendly and warm people. They showed us around, told us where to find the nearest shop (just 50 meters away at other side of the square at the Rua do São Paulo) and the market. The apartment was clean, towels available and the beds were made.
At night it may be a bit noisy from the nearby restaurants, but with the windows at the Rua Nova do Cavalho closed the noise is kept out quite well actually.
Located near the Cais do Sodré it is the ideal location to start exploring the city of Lisbon. Alfama, Baixa, Chiado, Belém, Parque das Nações: all well in reach either by walking there, or by taking the bus, metro or tram from Cais do Sodré or Praça Luís de Camões.
We had a wonderful time here, and felt the warmth of Miguel, his wife Catarina (who came to say us farewell) and his lovely parents.
