This beautiful flat is in a very convenient location in a quiet neighbourhood in Lisbon, only a couple of minutes walk from two Metro stations, and near a small supermarket (Pingo Doce, which is very well stocked) and little restaurants and cafes. It was spotlessly clean, full of light and quiet. The flat was very cleverly (and recently) remodelled, so that the charming period features like the plaster mouldings on the ceilings and the beautiful floors have been retained, but the double glazing and bathrooms are very new, and it was furnished with very good taste, with a mixture of antiques and new (very comfortable!) beds, sofa etc; it offers plenty of storage space and the living room bookshelf is stocked with interesting local interest books and useful information for tourists. The kitchen includes all mod cons and is very well equipped with dishwasher, fridge, freezer, microwave, oven and ceramic hob cooker, kettle, coffee maker, toaster, immersion blender, and enough pots and pans to cook to your hearts content should you wish to (but given the quantity and quality of restaurants in Lisbon we ended up eating in only once, because it was raining and we didn't fancy going out again..). There is also a clever storage area that conceals the washing machine, iron and ironing board, broom and dustpan and vacuum cleaner, and there is space to hang your washing both indoors or out on the balcony at the back. There is a satisfyingly powerful hairdryer, and the showers are new and with a very pleasant water pressure. The heating system was very responsive, and all radiators have thermostats. To top it all up the landlady was absolutely charming and had made sure we had some fresh milk in the fridge and had filled a huge gorgeous fruit basket for us, as well as other little treats like biscuits, crackers, tea, coffee, sugar, jam and butter, so that we didn't have to immediately worry about doing a shopping trip before breakfast, which was a very sweet touch. Both bathrooms and kitchen are equipped with essentials such as shampoos and shower gels, hand soaps and dishwashing liquid and sponges etc. We found that everything had been planned very thoughtfully to make the flat comfortable and welcoming. We absolutely LOVED it, and will be recommending it to our friends, and hope to be back soon ourselves!
