Bica Terrace is simply beautiful - a compact, comfortable apartment with a fabulous balcony and an excellent location, just off the Elevador Bica. If you stay for several days like we did, you will get the feel of the neighborhood, find your best coffee spots, and learn your way around. You will also become very fit - 50 steps up to the apartment, which is on the third floor, and once you get back to street level it is either up or down, then down or up! But that is just Lisbon.
Joao took excellent care of us, providing an (optional) pick up/ drop off service from/to the Airport that was worth every euro and really reduced our stress after an all night flight. He checked in on us several times and gave us some excellent tips that really enhanced our stay.
This is a lively neighborhood, especially at night, so expect some significant street noise. Joao provides ear plugs that came in handy, and if you close the windows it helps!
We were so happy to have such a cozy and lovely place to come home to at the end of (or in the middle of) a long day. A great jumping off spot to experience Lisbon!
