A delightful upscale studio apartment with a fabulous terrace on three sides for watching the sun both rise and set. Check in comes with a list of recommendations and a thorough intro to apartment and location. City maps, leaflets and even a Portuguese phrase book were available, along with material to self cater. Located at the meeting point of several residential streets near Intendente Metro, it’s both very quiet and moments away from all the action. All central districts of Lisbon are walkable, and the metro and tram are at the end of the street. Snails, shrimp and sardines are available at the neighbourhood cafe just outside, and there are many small grocery stores in the surrounding streets. A perfect apartment for a great introduction to Lisbon, but the terrace - and the all-important comfortable sun loungers - make it special if you just want to read in the sun.
