Having travelled to Lisbon many times, I like to try new areas of the city. The location of this apartment was brilliant. I could get so many places on public transport...I walked all around the local area, visited Campo De Ourique, Belem, Santos, Estrela...and getting in and out of the city centre was a doddle. In high summer, it was lovely to leave the crowds behind and escape back to Alcantara. The apartment itself is excellent, sparklingly clean, easy to access, being on the ground floor, and check in was simple. I met Marina's sister-in-law, Natalia as soon as I got out of my taxi from the airport. I will definitely return to the Monkey flat if it's available on my next visit.
