Ana’s apartment served me well for the month I stayed there. The neighborhood is residential and doesn’t have a lot of excitement, while still meeting all of your basic needs. This was perfect for me since I wanted to work part-time and didn’t want the noise and distractions of a “happening” neighborhood. It was easy enough to get to those parts when I wanted to. Public transportation in Lisbon is cheap and reliable. It was also easy enough to get to places outside of Lisbon. I loved seeing goats outside of my window in the mornings and getting caramel pudding from across the street. There is a small convenience store right outside of apartment and a mall/large food market/train station about a mile away. Ana was always quick to reply to my questions.
