The apartment on Rua da Bica was unforgettable, sitting next to one of the "ascensores" or cable cars that go up the Lisbon hills. It is beautifully decorated and had all that we needed. We especially appreciated the washing machine and soap. It is true that it is a bit noisy because there are bars on the Rua, but if you know that going in, it should not be a problem. Thumbs up on this great place.
