The apartment is in a great location - really short walk from the metro station from the airport (45mins). The area is very authentic and feels like living in the real Lisbon, almost a village atmosphere even though it's only 20 mins walk from the main city centre. Surrounded by lots of bars and restaurants, small local shops and the sound of the Fado - we really enjoyed being in this area and would stay in this part of Lisbon again. However, don't expect any luxury in the apartment - it's pretty basic and fine if you spend most of your time out and only need a place to sleep. The apartment is small - really only the size of one room plus a bathroom, and it would be fine if it actually was like this, but by splitting it up into two rooms makes the living area poorly laid out and cramped. We were attending a wedding and it would have been nice to have somewhere to hang clothes - a few coat hangers and some hooks on the back of the bedroom door would make all the difference! An iron and an ironing board would also have been nice (and huge thanks to JB for sorting an iron out for us). The apartment was clean, but the shower needs to be re-grouted and the sealant replaced (it was discoloured and unpleasant). And final moan (owner please take note!), if the apartment is for two people the least you can do is provide two mugs for coffee! We didn't meet the owner - but many thanks to JB who met us as arranged and gave us tips on local restaurants etc. We had a great time in Lisbon and recommend Alfarma as a good place to stay.
