The apartment is in a great location, between the centre and attractions, stations, waterfront and a good selection of bars and restaurants all within easy walking distance. The apartment was comfortable and clean, everything we needed we had. Check in was easy and Ricardo was quick to respond. The balcony is to the rear of the apartment, accessed through the bedroom. It is more of an ‘internal balcony’, it does not receive the sun and you cannot smoke because of the balcony above, but it’s great for breakfast and morning coffee. We found the apartment perfect for a couple of days exploring Lisbon. The kitchen is fully equipped and we could have cooked and stayed at the apartment in the evenings if we’d wanted to - we would recommend this place, and stay again! Thanks Ricardo :)
