Marcelo's apartment was bright, clean and perfectly matched the pictures provided. The location was good - a large grocery store is just a 1 minute walk away and it was a 10 minute walk to the train station, which could take you to the beaches of Cascais or into the Alfama and downtown. Being close to the Belém neighborhood was great - we were able to run to see the Belém Tower one morning. Communication and coordination with Marcelo were easy - his directions to the apartment were straight forward and he walked us through the apartment to help familiarize us with it. He provided a great list of restaurants in the neighborhood.
