The apartment was simple but comfortable. The light was lovely, and the breeze the windows provided gave a nice feeling of air in the apartment. Being right across from the bus stop was very handy, and there were good cafes just down the street, as well as a market round the corner. The description is accurate, this is not a fancy location, but it was perfectly comfortable for our needs. We felt very much like we were living in Lisbon, not just visiting it.
