The apartment itself is very nice, but the building is a little run down. We had to walk through garbage and flies just to get to the front door of the building. The area is very touristy and filled with people asking you if you want drugs. However, it was close to two metro stops and we were able to walk to nicer areas. If you are staying in LIsbon on a budget, I would recommend, but would look elsewhere if you want something nicer.
