Madalena's place is in a very convinent place. Transit was easy to get to. Restaurants were only 10-15 mins away. We felt safe. The balcony door opens to a busy street it was nice to enjoy the sights and sounds of Lisbon and don't worry once they were closed it was quiet at night. Thank goodness for the a/c even in September. The apartment is not large but it is everything you need for your Lisbon stay.
