Alges is not too far from Lisbon and made it a nice place to stay and still be close enough to the main city. We enjoyed the pool access even though at first hard to find as you have to go down to garage and enter another building going up to top floor. The market in Alges is excellent as we enjoyed different restaurants and some craft beers from all over the world including Portugal. The apartment was very clean and had a nice view of train station by the sea. The shower head was our favorite amenity of the apartment as it was strong and had warm water. The apartment has everything you need around it and easy to access public transportation to the other surrounding cities. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone.
