If, when finding a place to stay in Lisbon, you desire somewhere that feels local, historical, and authentic, 132 Rua de Esperança is, quite honestly, ideal. Being located in one of the older parts of the city means the street itself is quiet, yet still full of character. The apartment possesses views out over the estuary in one direction, and out over part of the city in another. It’s a bright and quirky space with classically uneven-shaped wooden floors and doors. The place was clean and everything was working perfectly. Bus and trams stops within a minutes walk make access to the rest of Lisbon is easy. If you would prefer to walk, then it’s in close enough proximity to do so. There are also shops and restaurants nearby, so anything you need is only just round the corner.
The host Joana is lovely. She was extremely quick in answering any questions I had about travel logistics or where the best places to go for things like food were, with every answer being helpful. I was made to feel at home, and consider myself lucky to have been able to stay somewhere so special.
