Such easy access to the metro and the outdoor patio was a huge plus! The host even left some adapters and chargers for us to use on our American phones which was an excellent show of hospitality. He also left a bottle of wine and some coffee, which I found so kind. Overall, the area is decent with many shops to the north of the apartment and the metro right next to the apartment. It is on a hill though - like most of Lisbon - so be ready to walk up. The apartment is on the ground floor so that’s easy but sometimes you can hear people talking outside. Although advertised as two bedrooms; one room was the living room and sleeps only one person. The couch does not fold out. The couch and bed was comfy though! The neighborhood was a little deserted at night but we took taxis when it was really late and felt safe as a result. The internet was fast. Although we didn’t use the portable wifi, it was a cool gesture by the host to make sure you don’t rack up the bills on your cell phone. Thank you for the wonderful stay!
