Well ... we had been very excited to discover Portugal and after falling sick after 2 weeks in Budapest we really were hoping we would find the perfect place to enjoy Lisbon ... and we did.
Due to being sick we had little time to do any research of the areas to stay in Etc so we just booked the nicest place we could find and hope for the best. I think if we had of done weeks of research we would of found nothing better than here.
We arrived late night and check in was simple and our check in code for the door and instructions were extremely clear. Joana was always available and waiting up for us to let us know we got in with no problems.
The place is newly renovated with luxury furnishings / high speed internet / Netflix / movie channels and there was a nice bottle of Portuguese red wine waiting with glasses and cork screw for us to enjoy when we walked in.
The beds are incredibly comfortable in all 3 bedrooms and air conditioned throughout. There are also two bathrooms so my girlfriend had one and I took over the other.
It wasn’t until the next day when we went exploring that we were in the center of everything !! The timeout market is only a short stroll away where 40 of the best rated restaurants, drinks, port tastings and ice creams are all under one roof. We are here at least 6-7 times during our stay.
Next to the time out market is also the train station, ferry station and tram station where you can literally get to anywhere you need to go except for a plane.
The vibe is awesome as you are right by the water where musicians are playing music every sunset along the boardwalk by the ocean.
There are electric bikes and scooters everywhere nearby and as you are already right by the water you can literally walk out your door and jump on one (paying via your phone app you can download) and just go straight on the boardwalk and ride along the ocean seeing all the must see spots while stopping for the odd cocktail or 3. We ended up extending our two week trip to 3 as we just didn’t want to leave.
My girlfriend and I travel 8 months of the year and it is rare for me to write a review this long but I felt I must as we usually waste sooooo much time researching EVERY possible option. Save yourself the time.... you found it .
This is a great find !
