I had a wonderful stay at the Lapa apartment! Stayed for four days to visit Lisbon and was very fortunate to find this apartment on Airbnb! The location for me was perfect: not near the city centre but very easy to get there. I did some sight seeing with the tour bus and it was perfect to get to their location.
What I really loved was the nearby surrounding neighbourhoods like Barrio alto, Rato and Principe Real. The shops, cafes, parks and restaurant are great. And if you don't mind a good solid walk through nice neighbourhoods this is a good location to stay. You can easily find anything and go everywhere, afterwards you can return to the nice and peaceful Lapa and cozy apartment. You will also find everything you need in the apartment and Lapa. Nice and friendly people!
The owner was very kind and showed the apartment and all I needed to know for transpiration and such. He even had a map ready with all the important spots I needed to know. Always quick to respond to my emails as well.
If you want to stay among locals, like to have a change to sit outside (the fruit trees smell great) away from the buzzing city but easy to get to if you want, you should stay here!
Enjoy!
