The location of this apartment is ideal with a Lisbon Metro stop at the Marquis of Pombal Square merely two blocks away. Taking the Metro at the Lisbon airport, reaching his apartment is an easy 30-minute journey. We valued that the apartment was immediately near several restaurants with many more a short distance down the Avenida da Liberdade outside the front door, plus, a grocery store and pharmacy are nearby.
André is a great host; he showed us around the apartment when we first arrived, was responsive for our follow up questions and showed us kindness by printing forms we needed for our return trip to the U.S.
The exterior of the building has a charming, historic look and the apartment is spacious and comfortable, decorated in a calming modern style. For example, the chaise lounge of the sectional sofa with views of the equally charming surrounding buildings was the perfect place to have a morning espresso. The bedroom is quiet for sleeping due to being off the building's private courtyard and the bed was comfortable. We appreciated the ample closet space, tons of included hangers, and other accessories that made our week-long stay easier like a combo washer-dryer, hairdryer. Confession: it was a treat to stay somewhere with two bathrooms, a rarity!
