Firstly, If you feel like you absolutely must stay in Lisbon city center, think again! Alges is a great traditional neighborhood with bakeries galore and access to everything you’d want in Portugal. We stayed a month at Elisabete’s apartment, working from home and exploring all things the area has to offer. Unit: fully equipped for a long stay with great wifi, updated kitchen, and even mid stay cleaning (HUGELY APPRECIATED). Location: honestly. We loved it. The Alges Mercado was our hot spot for coffee, fantastic local groceries, and great food and drinks every day. People who complained about the noise are just light sleepers. It closes at midnight and was no big deal with the windows closed. The unit is also a short walk around the block to all forms of transport getting you to Lisbon in 15 minutes and Cascais in 30. Also, great seaside running/walking trail a few minutes away. We didn’t need a car even once. Hosts: Elisabete was communicative from booking till checkout. She was very helpful in answering all questions about the area and even hand delivered a drip coffee pot upon request. Friendly, kind, and took care of us. If we were to return to Lisbon for a long stay again, I would 100% book this particular apartment. Still feels like home.
