When we saw this place online, it looked utterly wonderful: stylish, clean, in a great location - in short, everything you could want for a stay in Lisbon...
In reality, it's EVEN BETTER! Everything about Isabel and João's place is so refined, so beautiful, so stylish, so clean, and just so thoughtfully put together that a) it's a wonderful place to stay if you're visiting Lisbon, and b) you'll want to spend lots of time in it! The apartment has everything you'll need for a break away, including a well-appointed kitchen and a nice, big kitchen table, comfy bed, great bathroom, and a lovely atmosphere. And the atmosphere is lovely from the moment you get there: Isabel met us at the apartment and was just so helpful and friendly, showing us all of the excellent and interesting sights, restaurants, and personal favourites in this beautiful little corner of Lisbon (including brilliant tips about eateries that you don't find in the guidebooks!), and giving us further tips on places, how to get to them, etc. Isabel's welcome really made us feel so pleased to be in Lisbon and, importantly, to be staying at this apartment!
Needless to say, there's loads to do and see in Lisbon - especially when you've been given heaps of amazing local knowledge to help you navigate the place! We'll definitely be going back and will certainly want to stay here again. Not only is it just such a brilliant place in and of itself, but the area is great, being right by the tramline, only a 30-minute walk into town, 5 minutes from the amazing Basilica da Estrela, and surrounded by excellent restaurants and only a couple of minutes away from the Mercado de Campo de Ourique.
