The location is great for exploring Lisbon. We were met at the apartment by a lovely young woman who explained everything to us and answered any questions we had, and left a gift of the local speciality, the Pasteis de Nata ( custard tarts in flaky pastry) The apartment is on the third floor and is quite spacious. The wifi was good and all the basic facilities were available. Its just off a very steep street with an old fasioned funicular tram still running. Further up the street there is a nice bar, Bicaense, which features live jazz on Tuesdays. We also visited the famous Hot Club de Portugal.where we heard some great performances. ( 5 euro taxi ride will get you there) Make sure to take a trip on the famous Tram 28. ( You can buy a 24 hr ticket for six euros, which allows you to hop on and offany tram or bus around the city). Lisbon is a great city to visit, and the people are very welcoming, with most speaking English. Highly recommended!
