The apartment is very comfortable and very lovely. Although it is centrally located -- with easy access to shops and restaurants -- it is also very quiet. We were met at the apartment when we arrived and communication with the hosts was easy. They left a guide book with many thoughtful recommendations for sights to see in Lisbon, as well as places to eat. We enjoyed morning coffee and pastries at Cafeteria Nando (don't miss it!), as well as dining at O Beco (in Alfama) and SeaMe. It was our first time in Lisbon. We really enjoyed staying at the apartment and would gladly return.
