We were very pleased with our apartment rental. It was in a great location - just steps away from the Praca do Comercio and Rua Augusta with its restaurants, cafes and shops. The kitchen was well-equipped with cleaning supplies and pots and pans for preparing light meals as well as salt, pepper, oil and vinegar. There is a small grocery store (Amanhecer) within a 5 minute walk of the apartment or, for a larger selection of food, check out Pingo Doce located near the castle. Lisbon is a vibrant city, so expect to hear some traffic noise throughout the day/night. However, it didn't disturb our sleep as we kept the windows closed and this helped dull the noise. We felt very safe walking around the immediate neighbourhood. The management company was quick to respond to any questions we had during our stay and they also had an office on the main floor if we wanted to speak to someone in person during business hours. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Lisbon!
