This apartment worked perfectly for me because I had come to Lisbon for a conference at the Museum of the Orient, which is just a five-minute walk away. I liked the location on a narrow cobbled street in a traditional neighborhood, with a bakery just next door for coffee and pastry, several small groceries just a few minutes walk away, and a taxi rank and bus stop very close by. I like to walk, and was able to get to Belem as well as the center of Lisbon in about 30-40 minutes walking from the apartment, and this was at a not particularly hurried pace. If you don't want to walk, the taxi rank is always there for you just down the street. (The nearest metro station is a bit distant at Cais de Sodre, though.) As for the apartment itself, it was comfortable, clean, and had just about everything I needed. I was particularly pleased that the internet wireless worked flawlessly for my entire four-day stay. Two small items that I would suggest adding to the apartment: a couple of clothes hangers and a trash basket, both of which the apartment lacked. Otherwise, I had everything I needed and I would stay here again. I am very glad I chose this apartment in an old Lisboa building with character and charm over a generic and anonymous hotel.
