A great location from which to get a real feel for Lisbon. We had a great time.
Carlota has gone to a lot of trouble to provide a full description of the apartment and nearby viewpoints and attractions to get a newcomer to Lisbon off to a good start. The apartment was easy to find and she was there to meet us and add further local information. By the way, if you are coming in from the airport by Metro to Martim Moniz station, the route of the No 12 tram is very much shorter than that of the 28!
The flat was very clean and attractive and the lounge / dining room is large and very comfortable, bright with three windows and views in two directions – so plenty to watch from the Juliet balconies when not out in the town!
Whilst the kitchen and bathroom are fairly small, it all worked fine for the three of us. Yes, the toilet itself is a snug fit between bidet and basin, but the shower has a good flow and is very refreshing. The beds, bedding and pillows were very comfortable and we slept well.
There are some very handy grocery shops very nearby, in particular the ‘Colina Virtual cybercafe’. The owners, Paolo and Isabella also run a nice little restaurant up the narrow adjoining street, Rua do Salvador on the left.
Overall it was the location which was an absolute joy combined with the helpfulness and guidance from Carlota. Many thanks for having us to stay!
