This is a comfortable and well equipped space just a few Metro stops from the central areas of Lisbon. The surrounding area is a little drab but there is a nearby supermarket and a local car park that is safe and cheap. We left our car there for two days and used the bus/Metro/train. Invest in a day pass for the time you are going to spend there and use the services as and when you like. There are some local cafes and bars but we tended to eat in Downtown.
