This is the perfect spot to experience Lisbon night life--more for the young and the young-at-heart than for those of us attending a conference! Our stay coincided with big celebrations and loud music on Friday and Saturday night with revelers singing along with the two outdoor DJ's--one in the middle of each block-- and laughing and enjoying themselves until the wee morning hours--everybody was having fun with plenty of alcohol but no ugliness and no fights. After that, all was fairly calm and quiet our remaining 4 nights. The apartment is close to lots of great restaurants and shops, and an easy walk to the central city and the waterfront. It's also close to the metro. We took the metro from the airport and easily found the place. The tiny bathroom--just off the kitchen-- is truly, truly tiny, so if you are a larger American, you may have problems with the narrow shower stall! We were thrilled to have great views and a balcony on two sides. The four large French doors to the balconies were also a treat. And the washing machine was much appreciated. We enjoyed the space! Beware--the apartment is up 3 steep flights of stairs!!! Good exercise to work off the great meals we had in the neighborhood. All in all, this was a very inexpensive way to enjoy a delightful city.
