We travel to Portugal every year and this was one of our most favorite places in Lisbon. The apartment is well equiped for cooking and overall has a solid nice comfortabke feel. You can walk to shopping, restaurants, and the metro. The area is not fancy--no great views etc, but it's rich with the best of what Lisbon has to offer and we felt so at home here. We liked feeling nestled in a real neighnorhiod in a vibrant part of the city without many tourists. It is real gem.
