This was a very comfortable apartment for husband, wife, and son. It is set on a very quiet street with not much traffic. The river is a short walk, and a garden area, and small mini-markets scattered around for fruits and vegetables. We had no problem finding metered parking out front. It was very quiet, occasionally punctuated by dog barks, but nothing went on for long. You can hear planes pass overhead, but only during daylight. The beds were firm but comfortable. It was easy to catch Bolt and head towards the center of busy Lisboa, so we felt we had the best of both worlds.
