This apartment was perfect for exactly what we needed and served as a great home base for exploring Lisbon. We arrived on the heels of a holiday, and experienced the residual effects--there was still a very lively party in the streets each night (most lively on Saturday). It was perfect for us because, while the party was fun to experience, the apartment was located on a quiet street--we had hardly any noise by the time we were ready for bed. There is also a wonderful bakery/cafe just a few blocks down. The one drawback was that there wasn't air conditioning, which we were aware of going in--we just didn't predict high temps in the 100s. The nights were cooler but still quite warm, but we managed.
Benjamin was a wonderful host--patient with our late arrival and very attentive during our stay. We would stay here again.
