The apartment was in a location outside Lisbon city centre. However, it was well located for local restaurants, bars and an indoor market that sold food and drinks. The apartment was also near bus and tram stops for the centre and about 10-15 minute walk to the nearest Metro stop, useful as we did not have a car. The apartment had everything we needed for our stay and the host couldn't have been more helpful.

Other reviewers have mentioned that the apartment only has one shower/bathroom and it is only accessible from the main double bedroom and that the apartment is located on the top, third floor of a building with no lift. So fortunately, we were prepared for this. The only thing we hadn't realised is that the air conditioning was only available in the living area and the bedrooms did get a little hot. One mobile fan was available which helped a little.

Our family of 4 had a great stay in this quiet neighborhood, away from the busy tourist centre. The two-bedroom layout was perfect for us and our kids, who were glad to each have their own twin-sized bed. The kitchen facilities plus local grocery shops made it easy to prepare simple meals for ourselves. The small balcony is lovely for two people to sit and enjoy a city view including the Estrela church steeple. The bathroom was perfectly functional, plus a great view of the bridge from the shower! The air conditioning unit cooled the living room and the host provided a standing fan for the bedroom. Laundry machine was convenient, clothes could be hung in the closet or out the window to dry. We enjoyed the market dining nearby and the wonderful Jardim de Estrela park, which is a perfect place to pass a few hours with kids. You can hop on the tram or a bus from here to go downtown in 15 minutes, a scenic ride in style. Highly recommend.

The host was helpful and our check in/out all went smoothly. The building and unit doors are opened with old fashioned keys, a bit finicky to twist just right. To lock the unit from the inside you need to use the key. If my memory is correct, there are about 90 steps total from the street level up to the unit. Once you get adjusted, you will have a wonderful stay.

This property is about the location and the property manager. You are near several good restaurants, supermarkets and cafes. the famous Tram 28 is nearby, and you have access to other bus lines. My teens liked going to the Mercado ( 5 minutes away) to order food from the different stands. The view(s) from the apartment are breathtaking (the basilica, the river and the bridge). The place is spacious with a fully stacked kitchen and a modern shower/bathroom). It was nice to have two separate bedroom and nice dinner table area. We appreciated Helena's help during the entirety of our stay. She answered our questions and made our stay more relaxing. She was waiting for us super early in the morning when we arrived (left our bags while the cleaning crew did the work) and kept our bags until later when we left early afternoon for our departure. This place is ideal for visitors who want to experience Portugal living among the locals.

El apartamento está perfectamente equipado y tiene unas vistas soberbias sobre el río y el puente. El barrio es muy agradable: tranquilo, pero lleno de vida vecinal, mucha variedad de tiendas, y comunicación rápida y directa con el centro en bus y tranvía. La anfitriona, Helena, nos dio toda la información requerida y se esforzó para hacer nuestra estancia más agradable.
