Great place to use as a "launching pad" for touring Lisbon and surrounding area. The flat is a 5 minute walk to St. Apolonia metro station (which has a very convenient, well stocked grocery store) and a 20 minute walk to the Cais do Sodré metro station. Although the old part of town can be somewhat confusing to navigate, the flat was always easy to find given it's proximity to the St. Apolonia station and the National Pantheon. Laura (our host) was always quick responding to emails and very helpful. She arranged transport with Mr. Mario, who was punctual with pick up from the airport and return. The flat was spotless clean with a nice functional kitchen and bathroom (though understandably somewhat small). The place was VERY quiet, the bed quite comfortable and the heat/air conditioning worked well. The TV had a wide range of channels for viewing. My wife and I highly recommend..read some of the reviews of the flat and folks experiences and concur, great place at a good price in the old section (Alfama)of Lisbon.
