My partner and I stayed here over the weekend in jan/feb
From the point of booking the apartment to actually meeting him our contact Hugo was responsive, helpful and a very pleasant chap.
For me the location was perfect. I’ve been fortunate enough to have visited Lisboa several times now and have stayed in different parts, most famously Alfama which is nice too but it’s tourist central ! This is not that far walking to and from those places but for me it was better.
This block of apartments have been refurbished to a high standard and feels secure and in a safe neighbourhood.
The apartment is on the second floor, compact, extremely clean and tidy, it has everything you’ll need. It’s been recently refurbished as everything was new.
As mentioned it’s compact so it’s ideal for a couple. It has a sofa bed so I’m guessing it allows for more ? But I feel it’s just perfect for two.
There are 3 double doors in the kitchen/sitting room area that open up and allows for a more light and airy feeling. It opens the place up a little.
The entrance is tucked away down a cobbled street with a flashy looking office building (all mirrored exterior) opposite which gave us a sense of safety in the area also
The neighbouring buildings are very old, quite distressed looking but that is the charm of Lisbon really. My point is, that the street has a feeling of old meets new.
We were very close to tram links/train station/bus station restaurants and bars if needed
I’m sure there are AirB&B places all around however it does feel like a local neighbourhood.
As Lisbon is full of hills, dips, winding streets and mismatched buildings the fact that the famous bridge is very close it makes for a good marker for when you are finding your way back home after a tipple or three.
Taxi from airport is about 20euros in traffic
Or 10euros with no traffic (early trip to the airport)
Recommend!
Thanks Hugo
