What a perfect location for exploring Lisbon! Alexandra and Paola’s apartment is quiet, clean, stylish and comfortable. It is equipped with everything you need to live like a local while visiting Lisbon.
Most important is the location near the top of Rua da Madalena. It is just steps away from a grocery, a bakery, a cafe, and several good restaurants.
Just a couple of blocks down the hill and around the corner, you are on the famous Placa do Comércio and can stroll along the riverfront to The Alfama or the Cais de Sodré (where you can catch the trains to Belém and the beaches at Cascais).
A secret advantage of the apartment is that it is also just steps to two elevators that provide important shortcuts to bypass the steep hills of Lisbon. One elevator (next to the grocery) takes you up 7 stories - most of the way up to the Castelo do Sao Jorge and it’s commanding views. The other elevator ( just a few doors from the apartment) takes you down to a level where you can stroll easily into the shops and cafes in the Baixa/Chiado district. Such a great convenience!
Alexandra and Paolo were perfect hosts: welcoming, thoughtful, and full of excellent suggestions for making the most of your visit. We would certainly stay with them again!
