As a frequent traveler, my main concern about an apartment is always location, and this one really fit the bill! As Vera pulled out a map and explained to us all there was to see in Lisbon, I realized we were right in the middle of everything! I'm a huge food fanatic, and every great restaurant we ate at was a 10 minute walk or less from the apartment. My husband is a jazz musician, and we were about a 5 min walk from one of Portugal's best jazz clubs. Aside from this, the apartment was cute and smartly designed, had everything we needed for a stay of about a week, and a great view as well! Vera and Joao are great hosts, and if she makes one of her apple cakes while you are there and is nice enough to give you a piece, well then you are in for a treat!
