Myself and my boyfriend had an amazing time staying at Joana's apartment in March 2016. We had everything we need and loved the fact the apartment is in the traditional area of Lisbon. The apartment was very clean and organised with plenty of spare blankets, hair dryer, and heaters for colder nights. I would just suggest providing another mirror that's not in the bathroom for drying hair.
We especially loved the little balcony with beautiful views of the church. Great for breakfast. The location was perfect for us as only a 15 minute walk to the old town area or a few metro stops away and also away from the mass tourist crowds.
Lido the cafe at the bottom of the hill serve excellent pastel des natas! Also if you go up the next road before the apartment road (as if walking back to the metro) there is a lovely little cafe at the end that has a seating area in the sun all day and does excellent lates. The Portuguese restaurant at the bottom of the road is excellent value for money and serves half a frango with chips and rice for €6.50! Bargain but take a translator book/app if your Portuguese is limited as menu all in Portuguese. (We love this though!)
Joana was really lovely and gave us some excellent informative information upon our arrival. Nothing was a problem for her.
Overall we have loved our Lisbon experience and will definitely be returning at some point in the future with our children.
Thanks Joana!! :)
