Fabulous apartment with absolutely amazing views. The views lived up to everyone else’s reviews. It’s like you’re hovering over the city. The apartment itself is modern, spacious and minimalist. There are some little shops on the street right next to the apartment complex. We loved the little grocery store (wonderful deli) and the pastry shop. We walked downhill and uphill via the steep lane to/from Monsanto many times and also took the funicular (easy walk to and from the stop above Monsanto). There is also a large Carrefour supermarket very close to the top stop on this 3 stop funicular line if you really feel you need one.
