Lisbon is a fantastic city and the location of the apartment is great - close enough to everywhere you want go (eg, Alfama, markets near the water and barrio alto) and to public transport while also being a little off the beaten track. The apartment is old but quaint and has everything you need for a comfortable stay as long as you don't mind the noise of the lively street life below and the summer heat - there's a fan but no air conditioning.
