My boyfriend and I stayed in Barbara's beautiful apartment for five days and everything was perfect! Her husband greeted us when we arrived and Barbara was available by email for any questions we had during our stay and to give us restaurant and sightseeing tips. She also came to help us get a taxi to the airport, which was great since the street is not one that taxis commonly come down.

The apartment was in the best location! It is practically in the middle of everything with easy access to Rossio station (to Sintra), the metro line, and Trams 12, 15, and 28, though we generally walked everywhere. Lisbon is a city of hills, so the apartment is at the top of a big staircase. We soon got very used to the stairs though and THE VIEW from the balcony made all those steps worth it! We searched the city for a better view and could not find one.

The apartment itself was clean and bright. We had everything we needed and the little touches like candles, a jewelry box, and the adorable salt and pepper shakers made it feel like home. Each morning we woke up to sunshine, the sounds of the city, and a view of the river - all from our bed! After a long day of walking, there was nothing better than sitting on the balcony having a bottle of wine (picked out for us each day by the man who runs the little store on the corner).

Overall, we loved every minute in Janela de Lisboa! When we return to Lisbon, this is definitely where we will be staying!
