the apartment was beautiful and located at a great location. Nearby you can find grocery stores, few restaurants, few patisseries, and more importantly train and tram lines with shorter distance travel to hot touristic points . The check-in was effortless and we were received warmly by a great host. The apartment had all you need for a long stay from kitchen stuff to bed room and bathing means. I definitely recommend the place over a hotel if you want to have a full Portuguese experience in terms of your accomodations as well.
