Frederico's apartment was great, very well kept and I don't think it could have been more central. It is just next to the metro Baixa-Chiado on the other side of which are several shopping streets. Around the apartment are taxis and numerous cafes. A two minute walk away is Rua dos Correios with many restaurants. The main city squares are also within walking distance. Frederico was very quick to respond to any queries I had.

The only thing to bear in mind is that it is on the fourth floor and there is no elevator! This should not be a problem if you are just in Lisbon for the weekend, but we had already been in Portugal for 5 days so had heavy cases. It also may not be ideal if you have small children for this reason. However my daughter enjoyed sitting at the writing desk to do her drawings and climbing up the bunk bed ladder.

We would certainly use Frederico's apartment again if in Lisbon.
