This is a lovely apartment, away from the city centre but close enough to travel in easily by public transport.. The area feels safe and locals are friendly - some English is generally spoken (in fact, we were surprised by how many of our ‘neighbours’ were quite fluent). We stayed local some evenings as there are plenty of bars, restaurants, supermarkets, etc. If you don’t mind catering for yourself, the apartment is well equipped and has a great private balcony for when you might like to relax or eat outdoors! It would be unfair, however, if I didn’t mention that you will be quite close to the approach path to Lisboa Airport.... This was fine by me but you should be aware!
Gonçalo was there to greet us and show us around and extremely helpful with a problem we had (not related to the accommodation). An excellent host! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
