Fantastic apartment, fantastic location and fantastic host. The owner was brilliant at communicating with us leading up to our stay. She gave us loads of info about where to go in Lisbon for all the things we could want to do. She even allowed us to check in early to save us having to wander around or store our luggage elsewhere. She was absolutely amazing.
5 of us stayed here for a long weekend and it was perfect for us. It is literally 5 mins from the metro or 20 mins from the airport by taxi. It is right in the heart of bars and restaurants. There is a small grocery store and a pharmacy literally next door to the apartment in case you need anything. Lisbon isn’t massive, so if there is something you really want to do, it would take you 20 mins max to get there in an Uber. Uber is live and strong in Lisbon and we rarely waited more than 5-10 mins for a driver to collect us.
The apartment was clean and tidy with all the amenities you could need. The shower always had hot water and towels are provided in case you didn’t bring your own. I washed my clothes in the washing machine (which was a basic model and simple to use) and dried them on a clothes horse which was provided. One blessing was the stand up fans which are dotted around the apartment. It was 30 degrees outside when we went in September (only dropping to 22 degrees at night!) so having these when the apartment, especially when we were sleeping, was a god send!!!
One thing to be aware of regarding this apartment is that it is on the fourth floor with no elevator. If you have lots of heavy luggage, you need to know this. We only brought hand luggage, so it was fine for us.
We loved Lisbon and we loved this apartment. We will definitely be contacting Tanya (the owner) when we come back next year 😀
