Right off the bat, the location of this residence could not be better. The metro, train station, dining, shops, and a lot of attractions are all close by, and the attractions that aren't are a simple metro or bus trip away. The train station is less than a five minute walk for trips to Sintra or Cascais - both well worth the trip. Starbucks is right at the train station, and the Hard Rock is literally right around the corner. It's located right at the end of 'restaurant row', so there are plenty of delicious options. We went to several, and the food was consistently good, and prices for the most part, reasonable - especially for Europe. Keep in mind that this is a 'guest house', they don't have the full service of a hotel, but we found the staff helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great, with lots of options and bacon and scrambled eggs, and our room was spacious and comfortable with a large main room at the back, lots of windows, and a small but more than adequate bathroom. Every morning we watched the swallows swoop around the small courtyard in the back. Fantastic. They also have a great restaurant on site - a little more expensive, but the food is really good. Do note that there is a theatre and the opera house right outside, so it can get noisy and crowded at the front when shows are on. We loved it, but some might not, and the front rooms definitely would be affected. We highly recommend and would stay there again in a heartbeat.
