The Vila Marquês is very well situated in a neighborhood that is both quiet and convenient. We found nice coffee shops, mini-markets, and a great local restaurant just steps away from the apartment, which also offers easy access to the waterfront, train station, and a large recreational park (Parque Urbano do Jamor). The space itself was cozy - we were two adults and two older teenagers and we would probably have fit more comfortably in a slightly larger space. It would be a perfect spot for a couple and one or two smaller children. Since the space is mostly open concept (with a loft bed set above the living space), it requires the group to be in sync with one another at bed time and in the morning. However, the space itself was bright and comfortable. Rui was also a great host - he offered great suggestions for restaurants and places to visit, and was very accessible (he lives right next door). It is a perfect spot for enjoying Lisbon, as you are close to the beaches and also to the downtown area. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it highly!
