We are on a 3 month travel around Europe while working remotely. Besides price, my criteria for a place to stay is location first of all. Pedro's place was a short walk from San Apolonia Train station which gives you easy access to the whole city by subway, train or bus. We went to Sintra and Cascais out of the city for very cheap on the train. The neighborhood is very quiet, beautiful and safe. It is a short walk to the flea market, open on Tuesdays and Saturdays. We went three times. The waterfront by the cruise terminal is a short walk with the Praca do Comerico just a little ways further. Another top criteria is Wi-Fi since we work. I had read a review saying the Wi-Fi didn't work in the bedroom, only the living room, but I had no problems t all with the Wi-Fi connecting to my laptop in the whole apartment, including the bedroom. There is lots of natural light in the apartment with a great view of the water. We liked it so much we extended our stay after a week there
