This apartment is exactly as described. It's in a residential, non-touristy area of Lisbon which is quiet at the same time as there being plenty going on nearby. It's in a quiet street off a main road so it's peaceful; this is further enhanced by the very effective double glazing. There are bars, restaurants, shops, supermarkets and Lisbon's excellent public transport links all within easy reach (Metro Arroios no more than 5m walk away).
The apartment is attractively and thoughtfully presented with a very calm atmosphere; it has a well-equipped wetroom-bathroom with rainfall shower. I did some cooking - the kitchen area is smallish but functional and equipment all worked fine. The private garden and terrace are as immaculately kept as the rest of the property and it was a pleasure to sit out there at night having a glass of wine and looking at the stars.
This apartment had everything for my needs but if I'd needed anything else I was confident that João and Rita would help - I found them very approachable and conscientious about keeping in touch with their guests.
My only regret was that I couldn't stay longer!
