My wife & I did not meet our hosts Diogo & Joana, as they were out of town, but their communication was excellent & solicitous both before & during our stay, & their charming friend Ana introduced us to the apartment. The place was even nicer than advertised -- modern, bright, clean, well equipped, and with a gorgeous overview of Lisbon from its large balcony. The neighborhood is largely residential but a metro station & a beautiful modern shopping mall (including an excellent supermarket) are a 5 minute walk away. Many of the major sightseeing areas of Lisbon are within a 20-30 minute walk, but be prepared for hills. My wife & I walked almost everywhere in this lovely city, but public transportation is excellent for those who can't brave the climbs. We loved Diogo & Joana's apartment & would happily seek it again on a return visit to Lisbon.
