Ana’s place was terrific! Especially loved the blackout shades which made for great sleeping and it also has an amazing shower. The bed was comfortable and we were able to do laundry in the washer/dryer. The lighting is not terribly warm so it might not be the perfect spot for a romantic dinner in, but we certainly enjoyed watching Netflix on the big screen tv for some afternoon downtime.
The apartment is, as others have mentioned, at the top of many stairs inside a building after walking up many outside stairs, but if you don’t haul too much luggage you’ll be fine. Location is ideal. You’ll be able to walk to many fun neighborhoods and beautiful squares easily. There’s even an amazing and incredibly cheap traditional Portuguese restaurant right outside the front door to the right, and another fun wine bar/restaurant just past that.
The place was perfectly clean and came with soap and shampoo. Even a little bottle of wine! Ana’s friend Cristina met us and marked some sights for us on a map, and helped us practice using the key to the apartment door. Note that the lock for the outside of the apartment building is also a bit finicky.
My sister and I had a delightful time in Lisbon and this apartment made it comfortable and easy to enjoy our trip to the fullest.
