The photos do not lie, the view is fantastic and the spaciousness is a real treat (from our experience in Portuguese major cities). Make friends with the 773 bus line or you will get sick of the walk up the hill after returning from the grocery store and just about anywhere you want to go (all downhill from Miniflat). Be sure to check out LXFactory, a hip former industrial space with restaurants and creative shops. If you are sensitive to noise you will have a problem. This place has a cooll industrial/scenic view but that means some train noise (minimal), some traffic noise fromt he street (not bad for the city), but it is on the airport flight path so airplane noise. I was struck by how few flights came in, but at times it was a bit. I found it all worth it, but some might have a problem. Night time was quieter than the rest of the time. Again, fantastic and unique view. I had concerns about the 25th of April bridge noise and it was not much of a factor, being far enough away, and beautiful to look at. Many good transportation options but if you want to be in the heart of the tourist attractions this is not your place. Again, I preferred it that way. See the real Lisbon and give it a try.
