    "Great place to stay in Lisbon, location very close to the metro and easy to get to from the Airport. Room was very nice with great bathroom and water pressure. My wife found the bed a bit hard, but that is the only thing that I would note. Had a great stay, enjoyed the local recommendations, and was lucky enough to have fresh clementines every day from the tree in the garden area - very nice treat."
