Wow! Wow! Wow! From first contact to check out, renting this apartment was so easy and I could not have been happier that I did. The pictures on the website do not begin to capture the feeling of the apartment. We knew when we rang the buzzer for the penthouse, we had a feeling this was something special. Nelson was at the apartment when we arrived and rhe building has two modern elevators. As we stepped into the sun filled apartment with its polished wood floors and looked out or the large windows overlooking the vincent ruins and the river, we knew we made the right choice. Nelson showed us around the aprtment and encouraged us to text him with any questions we had, I did text him for restaurant recommendations and he responded in minutes with six suggestions with links to the restaurants and reviews from google. The apartment was ultra modern it's every appliance and amenity you could ask for. Also the apartment was meticulous - not a piece of dust - not a single stain or crack anywhere. It was like a sunny, white penthouse aprtment with killer views that no one had ever lived in. if you're looking for a place that feels like home - this isn't it - your home probably isn't this spectacular.
When I booked, i knew very little about Lisbon, and I was trying to find an apartment in Barrio Alto, but couldn't find one I liked. I chose this aprtment without really knowing what Chiado was. If you are older than 19, Chiado is where you want to be. Chiado is cool and hip, yet subdued with beautiful squares filled with nice restaurants and shops. This apartment is right in the middle of Chiado on a beautiful square filled with quaint restaurants and cafes. Walk 100 feet out the front door and you are sipping morning coffee in cobblestone square under the shade of trees looking at the ruins of a 500 year old convent that your bedroom balcony overlooks. Barrio Alto is a 5 minute walk, 28 Electric 3 minute walk, Commerce Square 10 minute walk, Dom Pedro Plaza 5 minutes.
Lisbon was fabulous and having this apartment to stay in made this a perfect trip. Don't even hesitate to choose this aprtment. If it is available for your trip, grab it before someone else does. Thank you Nelson for a great stay.
