We had a great stay at this apartment. The number one benefit is its location. There are a lot of great restaurants in the area, including one by Jose Avillez just a short walk away. We also listened to Fado in a cozy place just a short walk from the place. It is also a couple of blocks from some great shops. Even the access to other parts of Lisbon is made easy by the metro stop a block away or to the famous Tram 28 stop another half a block over. Tram 28 was what we rode to visit the Sao Jorge Castle that you can see from the balcony of the apartment. And if you are in the main tourist area in Baixa and want to come back to the apartment which is up the hill, you can just walk through the metro station, availing yourself of the escalators that effortlessly eases the climb. The apartment was also stacked with ample supplies, and if you needed anything else, the store is less that a 5 min walk away. My son popped the screw on his glasses, so he had it tightened in the optical store just next to the entrance of the building.
The other thing I would mention is the space in the unit. The apartment is very spacious and host did not over-furnish it. Instead, you do not feel cramped and have a lot of room to spread out. There were four of us that stayed at the apartment, and having that much room made us feel at home.
The last thing is the responsiveness of the host. If we had any questions, she was quick to answer. She also had a welcome gift for us and even arranged transport to and from the airport.
All in all, we greatly enjoyed our stay in Lisbon and staying in this place was a significant contributor to it.
