The place itself is as described in the listing; it's not Downton Abbey but is a great space in which to base yourselves while exploring all Lisbon to offer. The neighbourhood is a residential one and is ostensibly safe with plenty of amenities on the doorstep or a short walk away; banks, restaurants, shops bars etc. It is handy for exploring the beaches on the train and close to (and also far enough away from) some of the more colourful aspects of Lisbon nightlife. Some of the historical sites such as the Castle and Alfama are further away but easy to reach on public transport from the apartment. Happy was a great host and was happy to help in advance of our arrival and during our stay. It is a great place to stay in one of the most exciting cities in Europe.
