OM apartment in Lapa - beautiful, conceptual, welcoming. We had a very enjoyable time there and I would thoroughly recommend it to those art/architecture connoisseurs. The location is great for those who are seeking a proper residential area rather than the hustle and bustle of traffic noise and night life. Also beware that the street is very steep so you need to wear suitable footwear and be physically adept to cobbled terrain.
Although very residential, a few buildings in the area are undergoing a lot of re-development. Do not be put off by the construction noise as building regulations in Portugal are strict as to the times of day in which they can carry out work.
The owners of this place have put a lot of thought in its design. Also, they (we only had the chance to meet Pedro, Marta's husband) are the most charming and thoughtful people we have come across. Excellent communication. Very accommodating.
