My parents stayed at this apartment: 'We knocked on the door and someone in the little restaurant opposite heard the knocking and told us to wait a moment for the owners mother to open up. She promptly arrived, warmly greeted us and let us in. It’s a ground floor studio apartment. Entrance is through a traditional wooden door and then through a double-glazed patio door. It was a bit tight squeeze as the other wooden door was shut. Through these doors and you are straight in to room. Wow ! Just like the pictures on the website - but better. She explained she could not speak English but pointed us to all the essentials….first one being the Wi-Fi login details :) The apartment/studio has clearly been renovated to a very high standard. The kitchen is perfect for those short to medium stays: Induction hob, double oven, microwave, filter coffee maker, dish washer, fridge & freezer, etc. We did not do any cooking on our long weekend stay. All the basic utensils, cutlery and crockery are provided…all immaculately clean. There was a lovely bowl of fresh fruit provided on the dining table. Nice touch and much appreciated. Bathroom was more than perfectly clean & adequate..it's actually a showroom (there’s no bath) with plenty of shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and hand-gel. Those who need a hairdryer need not worry as that is provided too with a convenient socket on the well. Towel set for two were clean and pristine. Room is very modern but retains the old charms of Lisbon cottages..thick stone walls and some old-charm accessories to match. The window is double-glazed and can tilt or turn open. There’s a traditional heavy wooden shutter on the inside..again a nice retention of the old charm. All very well thought out. The bed was very comfortable (medium/firm). The two seater sofa is actually a sofa-bed (we did not try it). It’s suitable for two children but would be very “cosy" for two adults. There's digital TV and yes you can get SKY and BBC news amongst hundreds of local channels if you really have time to watch TV ! Wi-Fi is super fast ! There’s plenty of wardrobe space for all the stay. In the utility “cupboard” there’s an iron+board, vacuum, dust broom and a cloths washing machine with built in dryer. All in very good/new condition. The location is pretty good. 5 minutes steep down hill walk to the Rossio main-line station and another few minutes to the Rossio Square & Metro. Here, you’ll also find the “Santa Just Lift” but get ready to queue for a while if you wish to go up it !. There are plenty of little restaurants around the streets for breakfast, lunch and dinner around the apartment/studio. In fact this apartment is literally next door to “O Fernandinho"…a great little family run place that was recommended to us by one of the guides from the Lisbon “Free Walking Tour”…what a coincidence ! It’s a frequented by...
