Where to begin about staying at the best flat in all of Lisbon? 1. Location The location of the flat in Principe real is perfect as even though all the action of barrio alto and baixia chiado is a quick walk away you do not have to be living in it and hear it all night long. The street that the flat is on also happens to have a wonderful pastry shop serving fresh pastries and pastel nata every morning but the best ceviche in Lisbon is 30 seconds away. You will notice this restaurant when you look from the terrace and see the lineup of people around it. If they are too busy there are 5 other great tapas restaurants a 2 min walk away. A bank is across the street with easy access to get money. The metro stop rato is a 10 min walk away though with the close walkability of barrio alto and downtown you won't ever need it. A beautiful park with scenic views overlooking Lisbon is 3 min away and in the other direction a lush park with benches and bistro tables is 3 minutes the other way. 2. The flat This is a full floor flat, 3 bedroom approx 1500 sq/ft, walk up with a terrace. As a couple the space was amble and we kept mentioning that 3 couples could easily enjoy their time in this newly renovated flat. Everything worked perfectly. The terrace over looks the action of the street and is accessible from the Scandinavian minimally designed living room Ann's dining room. It's a wonderful place to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the world go by. Kitchen is brand new with everything you need if you choose to stay in to cook a meal. But with its unbeatable location you will be hard pressed to use it with the food choices just out your door. All beds are comfortable, there is a massive closet in the second one and a very handy rolling rack in the third. All windows and doors can open up giving a wonderful Atlantic breeze through the flat. Washroom is new as well and water pressure was never an issue. 3. The host Tita was beyond accommodating and wonderful. From the moment we met her at the flat earlier than our check in due to taking a red eye flight in. She met us promptly and helped us but our luggage in the secured storage room she has in the building. This provide us the opportunity to begin enjoying Lisbon immediately. Once our check in time arrived we returned to meet her and the flat was spotlessly clean and ready for our enjoyment. Not only that but she has a chilled bottle of Local white wine in the fridge for us. She was quick in her communication if we needed things. She was also able to recommend excellent places to eat and enjoy the city as a local. There was an incident that occurred...
