The apartment is a little home away from home! It has everything needed for a comfortable stay (we especially enjoyed having all necessary amenities for cooking). I stayed with my daughter and my 1,5 year old granddaughter and all three of us totally enjoyed being here. The biggest advantage of the apartment is the area it is located at. Mouraria is a totally underrated neighborhood of Lisbon and perhaps this is the reason mainstream tourists have not discovered it just yet. So if you are looking for an authentic feel - choose this place! Few steps away are few local coffee shops where you can enjoy your morning espresso while watching local residents sharing latest gossips. If you head deep into the neighborhood you will find variety of restaurants offering not just Portuguese food, but also Mozambican, Indian, Pakistani, Goan and Chinese, for Mouraria is the most ethnically diverse neighbourhood. It is also the birthplace of fado, is very close to the castle and features some of the best known graffitis in Lisbon. Last but not least, the apartment is so conveniently located to all the transport links: just down the street you can jump onto tramp 12 that would take your around the castle, just a little further there is the stop for the iconic tram 28 and also the entrance to Martin Moniz metro, that takes you to all other Lisbon areas.
Gustavo, who was taking care of us, has been the most helpful and was always available for any questions or requests.
Thank you!
