Great location, yet within walking distance to the tourist areas. The apartment is clean and well stocked with little extras such as tea, coffee, fruit, even pastries which was a lovely touch.
The apartment has everything you need, is very well equipped, very comfortable and cozy.
Ideal if you like to live amongst the locals in a traditional area of Lisbon away from the touristy areas.
There are lots of small bars and restaurants close by - all very traditional. Momento, below the apartment is excellent with good traditional fish dishes. The mussels were my favourite (you need to book). Tapa Bucho is also excellent - a small inexpensive tapas restaurant with great atmosphere and friendly staff - 3 minutes walk from the apartment. (they don't take bookings). Pharmacia, 10 minute walk has fantastic views is quirky but expensive.
There is a supermarket close by and general store directly opposite for bread, milk, eggs etc. Bakers close by too.
Cristina is very welcoming and helpful with tips about the local area.
Only thing to be aware of is that because the house is mid terraced, two of the bedrooms don't have windows so no natural light or air, however plenty of fans are provided. Also if you're a light sleeper take earplugs as the family living obove wear clogs!!
Take a tour tram - buy a €30 which you can use for 48 hours on all yellow buses and tour trams. The tram up to the castle area is best. Hop on and off. Take the blue line yellow bus to Belen but avoid the purple line which takes you round the built up industrial areas and motorways, long and boring.
All in all a thoroughly enjoyable stay in Lisbon. Thank you Christina.
