The apartment is well stocked, clean, bright and cheerful. It is located in a wonderful self contained ( great places to eat, grocery shopping, pastry shops, pharmacies, local post office, banks, book stores, etc) neighborhood. There are lovely parks nearby. It is accessible to the rest of the city via buses and trolleys. We received an excellent and friendly orientation to the apartment learning where things are and how to operate the appliances. Our hosts provided an excellent binder which included a detailed list of places to go and related maps, along with information on how to handle recycling and trash. The apartment and neighborhood are great for a longer stay and of course a short stay as well. We highly recommend this apartment and neighborhood and would stay there again when visiting Lisbon.
