Our stay in Lisbon was magnificent due in part to our location. A quiet, tree lined street in a typical neighborhood. If the sites and sounds of friendly Portuguese neighbors are of your liking, this is the place. An added bonus was the Museu da Agua right next door, offering an insight into the history of the water supply to Lisbon and the famous aqueducts. Make sure you're in shape for the ups and downs of the brick lined and cobble-stoned streets! Regular bus service to Lisbon's Commercial Square on the Rio Tagus was only a 5 minute walk and local grocery shopping and eateries were readily available in the area. If you are exploring more of the country, the Santa Apolonia Metro Station is 10 minutes away with high speed and local trains to all points Portugal. The apartment had all the amenities of home and comfortable for our needs. Windows and 3 small balconies overlooked the streets below. Our host Marcia communicated well and provided us the information needed for a comfortable stay. All in all, a fine stay for a holiday in Portugal.
