Renata is lovely person and picked us up at airport and gave us suggestions for local restaurants and directions to metro (only 10 minute walk at most and very easy to use). Apartment is home from home and has plenty of room and everything you need for comfortable stay - Renata left us welcome pack of local pastries. Location wise apartment is close to Gulbenkian museum (excellent) and has Lidl store just across road (road not busy) - also Bellalisa Italian restaurant next to apartment is excellent with really friendly staff. Surrounding area is tree lined with lots of cafes and outside seating areas to enjoy coffee or beer
