It’s not in the middle of the tourist zone which we found quite nice actually. Before we arrived we thought we wanted to be right in the centre of everything but it was so relaxing walking the streets of this neighbourhood. There is a beautiful square very close with a water feature and big old trees in the middle as well as a few lovely cafes and restaurants dotted around the square. It’s also only about a 15 walk to any of the very central tourist zones. As for the apartment itself, it’s really clean, spacious and has a decent sized balcony which was great. It’s a few short flights of stairs up, nothing difficult. The walk back from anywhere central usually does involve an uphill climb but I thing that’s unavoidable in Lisbon, embrace the workout! While we were there communication with our host Sophia was great and she did us a good favour on the last day in allowing us to leave our bags in the apartment until our late flight that night. That was very much appreciated.
