The location is perfect for exploring the main sites in Lisbon. Far enough from the loud bars near the Cais do Sodre, yet only a 20 minute walk to the Rossio train station and the Baixa Pombalina.
If you really insist on taking the metro, the place is located between Martim Moniz and Intendente stations. The location is super safe, even in the wee hours of night. The Italian Embassy is located 1.5 tiny blocks away. There are also 3 cafes in the Largo do Intendente, which is located a 3-minute walk from the place.
The building is old and charming, with the interior of the apartment in great shape. Dee also reserves a full shelf in the refrigerator for your use. The shower is powerful, with hot water.
