The location of this apartment was absolutely excellent! It was within walking distance of historic landmarks and public transportation. The lack of an elevator was not an issue, however, it is 5 flights of stairs, so you may want to think about the type of luggage you bring. It was clean and airy, and the small balcony was wonderful to have to sit out and enjoy a glass of wine or a coffee in the morning. We did not really use the kitchen, except to dry clothes on the clothing rack, so, having a washing machine came in extremely handy. We also booked a ride with Dee to/from the airport (20 euros one-way). She's very friendly and very knowledgeable about what to do see/do in the city. She recommended we visit Sintra (which is a must) and where to find the best pasteis de nata (Manteigaria), which were delicious! Dee also took us around town when we realized we had left for the airport too early; she's great! All in all, would absolutely recommend this apartment to friends/family!
