We stayed 5 nights and had a great time. The location was close to the metro and train station. We walked to most places. We caught the train to Sintra and Belem with no problem. The apt was a good size for us. The kitchen was outfitted with basics so if you want to do a-lot of cooking it might be a little hard. Americans love ice and there was not a freezer, just a small frig, but it worked out fine. They had all the appliance manuals so it was pretty easy to figure out the washing machine. Communication with Laura was excellent and Chiho and Nuno put together a book with apt info, trains, metro, restaurants and more. With the windows closed it was very quiet.
