Rodrigo's apartment is situated in the heart of Lisbon's Bairro Alto district which is characterised by a vibrant bar and restaurant scene. It is walking distance from Baixas and Alfama as well as both Cais do Sodre and Restauradores stations for easy access to other parts of the city.
The apartment is on the top (8th-ish) floor of an apartment building, I'm not sure if there is a lift to the top - this would be worth clarifying. The pair of small balconies off the living room look out towards The Castle and The River Tejo offering lovely views, there is room to comfortably fit one on each. The kitchen has a fridge/freezer, toaster, kettle, microwave, espresso maker and hobs, is a good size and has plenty of utensils etc to cook with. The bathroom is also large and was stocked with spare towels, soap and shampoo. The two bedrooms are significantly different in size, the smaller is definitely a single room but the larger would be comfortable for a couple. The living room is quite small and the ceiling slopes quite drastically so I would say it is best for two people to spend time. The living room has a sofa, large dining table and TV. The wifi was perfect throughout our stay. The flat contains a fan.
Rodrigo was a friendly and highly attentive host. We never met, a friend of his checked us in, but he was in constant contact and very eager to help if required. He provided a comprehensive package of directions and tips on things I was interested in seeing in advance of arrival and the flat had a lot of tourist information and leaflets in it.
Many thanks Rodrigo!
