The apartment is really lovely, very stylish and a well thought out space. It was clean, comfortable and attractive. The facilities were good, with all the things you'd need, e.g. spare towels, storage space, kitchen equipment etc. The pictures and description of the apartment were accurate - it is as attractive as it looks in the photos!
Raul and Fillipa were very good hosts - they were readily available but also left us to have our privacy. They respond quickly to messages. They were very helpful about check in and out times, especially when our flight was delayed and they kindly to waited for us until the early hours of the morning without any fuss.
We really liked the area, for us it was the best of both worlds - quieter than being in the centre of town but really well connected so it was quick and easy to get to the centre and main attractions. Although there is a main road at the top of the street it was quiet and peaceful. The neighbourhood was nice and felt safe. The metro station is only about a 5 minute walk, and easy to find, from there you can link to all parts of the city. If you want to go to the main centre of the city it is on the same metro line and only takes about 10 - 15 minutes. The metro system is simple to work out and travel on, and is only cheap. Also just around the corner from the apartment and next to the metro station there is a shopping centre with a supermarket so it is very convenient to buy food etc. Around that area there are some cafes and restaurants.
We found this a great area to stay and to explore the city from.
The only thing we were mindful of was that there is no rail on one part of the mezzanine or up the stairs to the bed area (as can be seen in the pictures) so we took care to put the light on if we got up in the night. It is just something to be aware of if you get up in the night.
There is some noise from the nearby airport, but we didn't find that it bothered us. On the plus side it is really easy and cheap to get to and from the airport.
We would definitely stay here again if we visited Lisbon again.
