This apartment was an excellent home-away-from-home for me. The location near the center of the city makes it a perfect base. There’s a Metro stop at the plaza about 200 meters away, and a stop for the number 28 tram is also there. Near the apartment are two small, good cafés for either breakfast or lunch, and a small market and a pharmacy are also very close. The apartment itself is roomy, modern, and very neat and clean. And the patio makes it extra special. The apartment has everything one might need for short-term housekeeping, even a washer. Keep in mind that Lisbon is a walking city, and this apartment is uphill from the above-mentioned Metro stop. Just be prepared to walk. This apartment is on a city street, and as such, outside the apartment, there’s continual traffic during the day as well a fair amount of foot traffic. However, the apartment is so constructed, and the windows and shutters are so tight that when shut, most of the outside noise is kept out outside. Check-in was easy, and Andre and Diogo, his agent, were very amenable to my needs especially when I need to extend my stay due to a flight change.
