The pictures are a true reflection of the apartment. The apartment is recently refurbished and it is evident that the host has taken great care in decorating and adding all the details to the apartment. The apartment is light and airy with a balcony that had a view to the river. It is bathed in sunshine in the early evening and perfect for relaxing with wine after a long day of exploration. The bed was comfortable and the quality of the sheets was appreciated. Everything was clean and tidy.
Rahim (the host) was excellent in communicating his arrival prior to check in. The location is great and walking distance from all the sights and museums of Belem. There are local supermarkets and restaurants. The tram to downtown Lisboa is also within walking distance.
The neighbourhood is safe and quiet. We were never worried about the safety of our hire car on the street at night. Overall, we felt safe in the flat and while walking on the street. The flat is also close to the botanical gardens which you will also be able to see from the balcony. You can sometimes hear the peacocks that live in the gardens.
We fell inlove with Lisboa and this apartment was one of the reasons. We cannot recommend it enough. We hope to return.
