We stayed at Sonia's apartment in Benfica for the entire month of July. We are very pleased with our stay, the apartment is modernly furnished and very conveniently located. We liked this part of Lisbon.
There is a metro station in short walking distance. A pharmacy, cafes and restaurants are nearby. There is Pingo Doce in the area, and you can find the Colombo shopping center 1 metro stop away or on foot (approximately 15 minutes).
In July there was a break in the games at the stadium. The apartment is very quiet, we didn't meet many neighbors.
There is a doorman at the entrance, very pleasant and helpful. We were there with my young daughter and we felt very safe. We only used the pool once as my daughter had ear problems.
Althought not mentioned in the description there were towels, hairdryer and iron in the apartment.
Internet was fast so I could work online without any problems.
The appartment is directed west, so the air-con was neccesary in the afternoon.
We are happy, we found this place, and we wish all the best to Sonia.
