The apartment is located in a fantastic area just steps from Castelo Sao Jorge and many restaurants and shops. The sleek, modern design elements made it a nice, comfortable place to return to each day. We stayed for one month - so it was great to have a full kitchen as well as a combo washer/dryer. For those planning to stay longer term, there is a full-service grocery store about .3 miles away, and two more less than a mile away. You will be staying near the top of one of Lisbon's seven hills, so keep that in mind for walkability. There is a public bus just a few meters up the road if needed. The bed and sofa were very comfortable and we had everything we needed for a great month in Lisbon! The building was secure and safe. As this is a ground-floor apartment, there isn't much natural light - but the cave-like bedroom/bathroom was great for sleeping in and relaxing! The host and her assistant are very responsive - at one point during our stay, the upstairs neighbors left the washing machine running which flooded our kitchen. Patricia and Sandra were quick to respond and make sure things were cleaned up and repaired. As others have mentioned, you may have noisy neighbors above from time-to-time (another short-term rental), but it was mostly just loud footsteps. There is a consistent faint sewer odor that is typical of ground floors in Lisbon, but a .50 euro air freshener bought at the grocery store helped quite a bit! All in all, a great stay and we wouldn't hesitate to book this apartment again!
