The acid test is always, would I go back and stay there again? The answer in this case is a definite YES!! The apartment is gorgeously furnished, really clean and has its own amazing views of Lisbon that's only slightly bettered by the best view of the city, which is only around the corner! The view comes at a price, the apartment is on top of a hill, but Lisbon is hilly wherever you are. The neighbourhood is safe and friendly, nearby are good and cheap convenience stores. Also, there's a few little cafes, one in particular is Miguel's - just start up conversations and you'll be well looked after. This was a great base for a 5 day break but I honestly could have lived there. The cleaner Ms. Ines provides a great welcome and lives nearby in case you need anything from the helpful Filipe. Go to one of the beaches only 40 minutes by train. Go to the food market hall. Potter about the streets and find your own little bars and restaurants. Obrigado Filipe.
