The apartment is in a great location---there are restaurants and bars very close by---in fact there is a delicious Italian restaurant right next door! There is also a small grocery store right across the street where you can get bottled water and supplies. The apartment is small, but very airy and light and perfect if you are planning to do a lot of sight seeing and just need a place to lay your head at night. It can be a little loud at night if you have the windows open since it is in an active area.

We arrived in Lisbon very late--about 10pm, but Dianka met us at the apartment to explain everything to us and make sure we felt at home. She is awesome!

I must say---as Americans, we were startled that the apartment was on the 5th floor and there was no elevator (something we overlooked)--which made hauling our large, overpacked suitcases up 5 (actually 6) flights of stairs-- challenging. We acclimated quickly though and the stairs actually became a nonissue. Since Lisbon is very hilly and wonderful to walk---I would recommend getting into shape before you come and packing light anyway!

The apartment is a great value and in a great location--we enjoyed it and Lisbon immensely.
