The flat proved an excellent base for a couple enjoying the convenience of a multitude of patisseries, cafes, restaurants, supermarkets and clothes shops on the doorstep, and keen to explore the wider Lisbon area. Although located on a busy street, the flat was quiet and peaceful. A well-stocked supermarket is to be found within 3 minutes of the front door (turn right at corner and walk 75 metres) which provides a full range of food and drink - including fresh, hot rolls and croissants from 8 am. Much of Lisbon can be explored on foot or you can get around using the trams (the famous No 28 stops a few metres from the apartment block) or the Metro. The apartment itself was compact but adequate, and the bed was very comfortable. Definitely to be recommended!
