This flat is in a convenient 10 minute or so walk to the metro at Marques de Pombal. There is a cafe/small convenience store nearby and Amoreiras shopping centre is a 10-15min walk away. The flat served its purpose for us for 2 nights as a family of 4. I am not sure how well it would work with friends, as there is more or less just a curtain/screen between the two bedrooms so not much privacy.
