Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this well-maintained bright apartment. The property is well located, close to many nearby attractions, with plenty of shops and restaurants on your doorstep.
The apartment is a short walk from trams, buses and the metro, so getting around is very easy. Transport prices are really cheap and it is recommended that you pick up the Viagem card which works on buses, trams & metro - you just need to top up in the metro station.
The apartment itself, while small enough, is very well thought out and functional. We were a family of four with two teenagers and it was comfortable. It has two aircon units, (main apartment and bedroom), which are easy to operate and thankfully silent.
The building too is quiet and the glazing cuts out nearly all of the street noise so it was easy to get a good night's rest in comfortable beds. There's a lift which was handy as the apartment is on the 3rd floor but it's definitely not for the claustrophobic.
The apartment is clean and well-stocked for anything you might require including a washing machine, dishwasher, clothes horse, iron & ironing board. The wifi is good and the hosts left a really good guide to local attractions & restaurants which was very helpful.
The area is safe and we never felt uncomfortable even late at night. Most of the restaurants nearby are geared towards tourists with the usual picture menus but there are a few gems to be found too. Eating out is cheap but as you walk around you'll have waiting staff trying to drag you into their establishment.
We'd wholeheartedly recommend the apartment and will definitely stay here when next in Lisbon. Thanks to all at Second House for your help and assistance - the communication throughout was excellent. A+
