The apartment is well kept, stylish and clean. We loved the location, as it is 5 mins walk to the riverside and you can walk all the way along to the Belem Torre, or take the number 15E tram. The tram stop is only a couple of minutes from the apartment and going the other way takes you into the centre in about 15-20 mins, or there is a choice of buses. The area doesn't have the character and charm of some of the central areas, but it is quiet and calm. The apartment is equipped well enough for basic cooking, but why cook when you have got the Pasteis de Belem, full of tempting custard tarts, not far away and a good, authentic Portuguese restaurant 'Campinas' just around the corner?! Rodrigo was always very helpful, speaks excellent English and obviously enjoys meeting new people from all over the world. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay and would, without hesitation, recommend staying at Rodrigo's apartment.
