This is a spectacular space from which to experience Lisbon, and shares many of its attributes, including great design, comfort and views—and plenty of steep stairs! It is a bit hard to get to, but Rui was fabulous in guiding me in and greeting me in person, explaining everything about the apartment and the neighborhood—and carrying my suitcase up the four flights of stairs, but that’s not in the contract! Seriously, if you are not reasonably fit, go elsewhere, otherwise, this is a magnificent experience. The neighborhood is not elegant, if that’s what you’re looking for, but it’s very close to everywhere you want to get to, and being there for the June festival was an unexpected delight. Thanks again to my hosts. .
