We were quite comfortable in the apartment. The essential stuff was all there - reliable hot water for showers, ample kitchen with all the necessities though we did not cook, a big enough refrigerator for storing our leftovers from eating out, on the ground floor so that we didn't even care if there was an elevator in the building, working or not, and last but not the least, two space heaters that kept us warm at 72 degree F when it was 60 outside. Sorry, we are from Miami, and 60 is freezing for us. A word of caution - there is no AC in the apartment which is not uncommon in Europe. So make sure it will be comfortable enough for you in the summer months.
The apartment was everything as described. The location is perfect, though location is never a problem for getting around in a small city like Lisbon. Uber was cheap. The trams and buses must be even cheaper. The neighborhood is quite safe with a surprising preponderance of Indian/Nepali eateries and convenience stores (called mini markets in Europe). Being of Indian origin ourselves, we know these immigrants are extremely family oriented and very hard workers. So we weren't worried at night. We had a few friendly conversations with the homies just to find out why Indians and Nepalese came to Portugal at all.
If we have to make a few minor suggestions for the owners:
- Provide ice trays to make ice cubes. Your freezer is solid, but we had to use the thick glassware to freeze water in. We Americans like ice in everything.
- The living room has an excellent sofa but only one comfortable chair. Another one will be nice.
- The number of towels provided was adequate for the three nights that we stayed, but it would have fallen short if we had stayed another night. We realize this is not a hotel, but a few more towels would be nice.
