This apartment is a great value. Two of us stayed for the month of August. The view is partially obstructed due to construction right next door. It was noisy sometimes as a result. They would start at 8 am and stop at 4 pm a few days a week in August. It doesn't look like that will be finished anytime soon. The apartment is very clean and the neighborhood is generally very quiet at night. It is close to several grocery stores and wonderful restaurants. Maria has good recommendations in a book. The closest metro is a 10 minute walk downhill and it's a 5 euro cab ride from the metro up to the apartment - straight up. It is very, very, very, very windy on the deck - 24 hours a day. August is the windiest month in Lisbon. Everything was as advertised, except there isn't a pull out bed anymore in the living room. The natural light and view can't be beat. The bed is super comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked. We appreciated a bottle of wine and coffee/filters upon our arrival. Maria's sister, Vanessa, was our host in Lisbon. She was amazingly helpful and responsive. A great service was available to clean the bedding and towels weekly. I absolutely would recommend this place to those without mobility issues (3rd floor walk up and stairs down an alley way to get to the entry). Thank you to Maria and Vanessa.
