Wonderful apartment, exactly like the photos, in a superb location for anyone wanting to see and get a feel for Lisbon. The apartment is at an intersection of two roads, one of which is pedestrianized and the other comes to an end, so there is practically no traffic despite being so central. That doesn't make it necessarily quiet - the hustle and bustle of a vibrant city is all around, especially during the day - but if the noise gets too much, the modern windows block it effectively (the corresponding shutters are very effective too). The apartment is on the first floor above a restaurant where we had an excellent meal on our final evening in Lisbon.

For us, as a family of four, the apartment was easily big enough. In square meters, it is not big, but it is really well thought out. It makes optimal use of the available space. There's even a small private area with the bunk beds that can be seen on the photos. Our children were delighted.

The apartment already has what it needs to make you feel welcome - it's well designed, clean, well furnished, well kitted out - but as a host Brigida takes it that extra step. She was so welcoming and helpful. She lives in the same building and repeatedly asked us to let her know if there was anything amiss or anything we needed. There was a fruit bowl on the table with fresh apples in it, small custard cakes which are famous in Lisbon on the sideboard (like most things these come in varying qualities, but these were really good ones) together with Ginja (a local sour cherry liqueur) in a decanter.

All in all we can highly recommend this apartment and would definitely come back. Thank you, Brigida!
