My husband and I spent a week in Portugal. It was pleasant staying at Mafalda’s place located out of the hustle and bustle. The apartment is in a very quiet area as well as in a quiet building. It is located in what used to be a monastery. Public transportation is easily accessible. You can catch the bus at the bottom of the hill or a nice 15 minute walk to Santa Apolónia train station to catch the metro. There are local restaurants, I recommend Crisfarma the owner is very nice and they serve excellent seafood, wine and coffee, and a market close by. If using public transportation it is a walk up hill to get to the apartment. Lisbon is very hilly. The apartment is beautiful and is as pictured in the photos. Lots of space, there is also a clothes washer in the apartment if needed. The apartment is very comfortable and felt like it was home away from home. You can reach the apartment by stairs or an elevator. Mafalda and Madalena responded quickly whenever we had inquiries. If you prefer to use to use taxi it is easily accessible. Just around the corner is the Museo de Agra or the water museum, it was interesting and had some beautiful architecture and interesting machines.
