This studio apartment is located in an "ordinary" neighborhood, but very close to several decent restaurants, groceries, and everyday shops. It's about a ten to fifteen minute walk to the beach/museums/old town/tourist area. The apartment itself is clean and comfortable, and Mario is a very accommodating host. Of the four or five places I stayed in the Lisbon area, Mario was the only host who took the time to walk me through the features of the apartment — very appreciated!
