This modern 5th floor 2 bedroom apartment is spotless, convenient, and has fabulous light and views. It has an elevator, secure garage parking and a supermarket below. If you are driving to or from other parts of Portugal, like the Douro valley, the apartment is especially convenient because you can use the apartment's garage, and pick up or drop off your rental car at the Avis, a half block away at the Hotel Mundial. The area around the apartment building isn't pretty, it's more on the scruffy side, but felt safe and was walkable to more quaint touristic neighborhoods a few blocks away. The apartment overlooked a busy square called Martim Moniz which is well used by the community with pop up bars, and casual restaurants at night, and folk dancing rehearsals in the morning. We did not find noise to be a problem with the windows shut, but bring ear plugs if you are a very light sleeper. The line for the popular tram 28 is right across the street, but since the line was always long, we opted for the faster cheap option of Uber and taxis. The kitchen was well equipped and our welcoming host Christina left us a bottle of her family's wine and some yummy cookies. We highly recommend the Timeout food market Mercado da Ribeira with delicious food and drink from restaurants all over Lisbon under one roof and community tables in the center. It's very popular with both locals and tourists. We would definitely return to Lisbon and to this apartment! Thank you Christina!
