The location of Nelsons apartment is really good, the sorrounding streets are nice and it is a short walk the Bairro Alto bar area, the city center (and Baixa-Chiado metro station), and also the Cais do Sodre area (by the habour). The street itself is also nice, quiet and cosy with the orange trees (Laranja = orange). There was a bit of noise and music from the street some nights, but nothing too loud and it didn’t go on all night.

The apartment is very small, but in really good condition. It could be a little cold (despite of the electric heater), but when Lisbon is not at its coldest (as in this January when we arrived), this will probably not be a problem. The kitchen is more for heating up things and making tea than doing any real cooking, but that is probably also all that you need.
