We had a wonderful time staying in the River View apartment. What it lacked in space it more than made up for in comfort, amenities, location, and the spectacular view. It was very easy to find from Sta Apolonia train/metro station, which is well connected with the rest of Lisbon. Joao's mother was there to greet us when we arrived. She was very kind and gave us plenty of tips about what to do and see in the area. Overall it was a great experience and I would highly recommend this apartment. On a side note however, it is a bit smaller than most places and thus may not be the best for people who don't like very tight spaces.
