When we arrived we wondered where we were, but after a morning of exploring we realised everything we needed was within walking distance, a perfect location. We met Joao at the apartment, he was so friendly and helpful, giving us lots of tips, answering our questions and showing us where everything was. He also treated us to Lisbon Tarts which are just delicious! The apartment is absolutely lovely, very clean, very airy, spacious and well equipped. It has electronic metal shutters which are great for keeping the sun out in the day when you are out and perfect for sleeping with no bright morning sunshine. There is some road noise in the bedroom but with the shutters down its minimal and didn't disturb us. The location is great with a large supermarket just off the top of the road, a bakery at the top of the road and cafes, restaurants and bars within a five minute walk. The river, town, shopping is all within 10 minutes walk. There is also a hop on hop off bus stop just around the corner. If you like craft beer you have lots of choice within a five minute walk. We highly recommend this apartment, Joao is an excellent host.
