  Good apartment good area if you know what is the area like, love

  Left on 09/19/2012 for a stay in September 2012
  
  

  The apartment is spacious, with a huge living room, lots of light, the decor is nice and modern. The bathroom is very functional, the sink area is separate from the toilet. The bed is comfortable. It has a large terrace. This well endowed household utensils and appliances. The only negatives would be that it is a low security with which is not much, no bars on the windows. The other negative is that throughout my stay neither internet nor I was able to put the TV tuned.
  
  As for the location, you should know if you do not know Lisbon, which is a neighborhood in the north area of ??the city, with many slopes and small hills, that even if you see on the map near the center, it really is not. Nor is it easy to access on foot to Bairro alto since you have to take many turns and steep streets. The bus is set away. No price supermarkets near normal, there is one but it is expensive and up a huge hill

  Nice terrace

  Left on 09/10/2012 for a stay in August 2012
  
  

  Nice flat farly central. Check in and out was easy. Terrace is really a bonus. Wi-fi works fine. The only thing is that the bathroom is nice but it is not easy taking a shower without the water from the shower going everywhere on the bathroom floor. Glass Panel is pretty but just not good enough. Even a shower curtain could be better. Otherwise everything was quite good.

  a nice apartment in lisbon

  Left on 10/13/2011 for a stay in September 2011
  
  

  A very nice ground floor apartment with a small terrace/balcony for sitting out. Very well equipped and comfortably furnished. Small supermarket and restaurants near by. Quite a long walk to the more tourist orientated areas. Buses 5 - 10 minutes walk away. Streets, as with much of Lisbon, are steep and have stone sets, so walking is not easy if you have walking problems.
