Madeline’s apartment is located in the perfect location for sightseeing. We easily accessed the Metro and there is a supermarket less than a five minute walk called Pingo Doce. There are also various restaurants on the same street. I found the street to have a traditional Portuguese feel to it and there’s even a clothes line outside the window. It doesn’t get more Portuguese than that :) As a Portuguese native, I’d say this is a touristy area. If you’re looking to dine where locals do branch out a little and look for restaurants with handwritten menus. The street was a bit busy at night but we found the windows to be soundproof enough. The only drawback to the apartment was that the shower’s water temperature. The water was either too hot or cold.
