Martin's place is so amazingly well located that it is incredibly easy to get almost anywhere you want to go in Lisbon on foot from this apartment. The decoration is charming, the kitchen well set up to do some cooking, and should you need/want it in the bedrooms, a/c as well as a fan setting is available. It wasn't important to us, but it could be in warmer weather. Every time we had a question or problem, it was handled very promptly. Some supplies were set out for us when we checked in, and that was much appreciated. We never ended up buying more coffee. Martin gave directions to two grocery store choices, and we shopped at the larger of the two. It had an excellent selection. We ate at the Hotel Lis restaurant a few times and found their Portuguese specialties remarkable. They also helped us make reservations at the Sacramento Restaurant in Chiado, which they recommended to us. By all means try both. The elevator in the building was a delightful convenience, and we did use it every day. If you've walked up and down hills all day, it was nice to know that at the end you could ride up to your apartment. We didn't do laundry, so I don't know how the machine worked, and we certainly didn't see any lines. But again this was a feature we didn't need. I can heartily recommend this property for its convenient location, excellent decoration, comfortable layout and functional furniture and supplies. Stay here if you get a chance. It will enhance your experience of Lisbon! Sally
