Our stay at the apt was great. Location could not be better !! Walking distance to many great shops and restaurants. The apt. is roomy and beds were very comfortable. A car is not necessary but be aware that if you have one you will have to park in the car park which is $35 euro per night and several blocks away. Other than that the stay was easy and nice. Make sure and go to Sintra for the day if you visit Lisbon !!
