The apartment is beautiful and is close to everything. There are a lot of little restaurants and cafes near by to eat at that are yummy, in particular Valenciana which has the best grilled chicken. There is a washing machine available to wash clothes which was very helpful and a Laundromat across the street to dry your clothes. The only thing we did not enjoy about this apartment was that it is located right under the flight path for the Lisbon airport. It did not keep us from sleeping, but it was very noisy.
