Duarte and Diogo were very helpful and very quick at responding to any contact - great - many thanks. Much appreciated. The apartment is large, newly decorated and fantastic for six ladies all wanting their own room. Each being able to have their own bathroom too really was icing on the cake. There is a largish kitchen with plenty of crockery, cutlery, pans etc. The apartment is the middle floor of an old building (which is undergoing a little work) and is immediately adjacent to the metro - which is fantastic for access to the wonderful city of Lisbon, but a slight downside is the rumbling of the metro. After a short while, you don't notice it so much. The apartment is within easy walking distance to quite a few excellent restaurants ( can't remember the name but no 166 (going away from town) is excellent, one on a side street on the left just a little way towards the city and the famous Ramiro's on the opposite side of the road a little further towards the city, being just three of them). There is a smallish but reasonably well stocked supermarket about five minutes walk, just around the corner from the apartment, where wonderful freshly baked bread and pastries are produced. It is also fairly central and easy to walk to a few of the monuments/attractions and the river. The very slight downside is that there were small noise issues but then hey ho, we were in the middle of a busy lively city, what do I expect??? (Rural ladies used to no noise other than animals!!!). In general, the Portuguese people were lovely and so helpful - definitely above and beyond - and we had a wonderful time staying in this apartment.
