Really nice, new apartment with a great bathroom! The bedroom is at the back of the building so it is quiet. Sliding doors open from the sitting room onto the street and in the kitchen too which creates a nice buzz when having your coffee, watching the city go by. The apartment is between two metro stops on the green line - Anos is the closest. There’s really no need to stay closer to the city centre than this. For walkers it’s a 20 min walk down hill into town.
And finally the neighbourhood of this apartment is cool. A great mix of people. Some really cool spots and independent retail and coffee shops seem to be popping up there. Check out Malabarista and Club Caffeine and Todas Manas for your fix and good vibes. RD's Restaurant is a Nepalese place and the women there serve great food! It’s a 10/15minute walk and absolutely worth it.
The 24E tram is close by. While more of a tourist attraction than the locals choice of transport, it will weave its way through the town and get you over to the Parliament area and a great place for an evening drink: Jardim Fialho de Almeida. X
