This apartment worked very well for the two of us on our visit to Lisbon. It is only a couple minutes walk from a Metro stop in the downtown area so it was a great starting point to get to all areas of Lisbon as well as to the train stations to visit Sintra and make our connections out to Coimbra when we left. There are several restaurants in the area (a very good Nepal curry restaurant for one) and a couple groceries close by for food to cook as well. Celia was a very helpful host and met us at the building when we arrived (with just a couple phone calls) to let us in and show us the apartment. Being in the city there are some noises, people on the street in the late evenings and the trash pick up at 1:00 in the morning. Not unexpected in the city, just be aware to expect some noise. We enjoyed our stay here very much.
