The apartment is very central for exploring the Lisbon on foot and in a quiet area although close to busy parks and restaurants/cafes. A grocery store is nearby. Everything you need is included in the apartment and we especially appreciated that there was a washer as it cut down on the clothing that we needed to pack for our trip. Although the listing indicates that it will accommodate up to five people, it really is better suited for two to three people as it is quite small. The apartment is very clean and bright. Being situated on the fifth floor, the stairs were a bit of a challenge but the view from the kitchen window made up for the hike up and down everyday! Rita, the apartment manager, arranged for a taxi to the airport on the morning we left and was accessible for anything we needed.
