Highly recommend Ana's apartment! My friend and I only stayed for 3 nights, would have loved to stay longer, even if it was to just stay at the apartment itself!
Location was extremely convenient, as all the places that Ana recommended were all walking distances.
Public transport was also close by.
You have the tram just a few minutes walk away. Two metro stations, Martim Moniz and Rossio, and buses also.
However, we only used the tram to have a look at the area and got off at main attractions, which one driver made sure to remind people that it was the stop to get off at to see the Castle nearby, announcing it in portuguese, english, then french; which amused everyone!
We took the train to Belem, another touristic area that Ana recommened, to try the portuguese egg tarts at the cafe where they originated from supposedly.
One of Lisbon's famous confectionery stores/cafe, Confeitaria Nacional, also one of the recommended places to visit from Ana is very close in Rossio, just 5 mins walk.
We felt pretty safe in the area day and night.
Ana's apartment had all the necessities, towels, body wash, tissue rolls, hair dryer, washing machine, pots and pans, coffee machine, teas, salt and sugar. You would be able to cook yourself and your fellow partners staying with you a great dinner if you go down to the supermarket and buy some food near the apartment also.
As it was pretty chilly in January, the air con was working well with heat setting.
You could get a great view from the apartment also, as it is the top floor.
You can tell that Ana has put in a lot of effort furnishing the apartment as it was nice and trendy, with lots of interesting decor and ornaments. Bed was extremely comfy. Nice and cosy apartment!
There were even several adaptors provided for all kinds of devices, android and apple.
The place was perfect for 2/3 people, with 3 beds available, can easily sleep 6. Very good for the price paid for.
One thing to point out is, before getting to the apartment, there are many stairs to trekk up, so it is recommended to pack light!
We were unfortunately unable to go to the recommened restaurant right below the flat, as they were not opened at 11am when we wanted to go! We will come again to try! Can't wait to return in the summer!
Thank you Ana for the lovely stay! See you soon!
