Joanna's timely communication with us was very important since we were unsure we would make the trip due to Hurricane Matthew. Upon arrival at the apartment, we were greeted at the door, given the key, and provided with all the pertinent information about the area including grocery stores, metro, etc. The location is truly central Lisbon. It is a one bedroom typical city apartment perfect for two people. When you come out the door, you are in the heartbeat of this city, accessible to all the Lisbon neighborhoods. Walking is the real key to this city, as you meander through the narrow streets in the various neighborhoods. Be ready as your walking options are either up a street or down a street. The Metro, bus, train and trolley locations are very close, and this expands your sightseeing beyond downtown to areas such as Belem, St Jerome monastery and beyond. The metro and bus public transportation system are very modern, clean and safe. However, the historic street trolleys are the star center attraction as you squeeze on and go for an open window ride. Tram 28 gets top billing !
Again, walking is key as it's the only way to get the real feel of the city, cafes and neighborhoods.
