The view from the apartment is incredible. Walking onto the back terrace we literally gasped, and had lovely coffee and pastries there every morning, looking over the heart of Lisbon. The neighborhood itself is very local, yet the main attractions (trying not to say "touristy" because it's not that simple) are incredibly close. It's kind of amazing, the proximity, actually -- two completely different feels of the city within 3 minutes walk. There is a very local restaurant and dance venue that you can literally see into from the balcony, and a grocery 1 minute away. The apartment was very clean and comfortable and we enjoyed it so much!
