We had an amazing time staying at this apartment. We felt like locals!
Pedro was so kind to greet us on our arrival, gave us a tour of the apartment and how to use the appliances, etc. during our ten days, he would sporadically check in on us via text message to make sure we had everything we needed. We could not ask for a more gracious and attentive host. Terrific!
The apartment is located on a hill street and it overlooks the river, which was very nice. As listed, it is modern and well-equipped. We had everything we needed. Even though we are good cooks, we didn't use the kitchen, as we wanted to try all the local restaurants in the city, but if you must, you will have every tool needed. We drank a lot of Nespresso though ;-) (closets store in Baixa-Chiado). We relaxed after our long walks in the cozy living room watching tv (many channels in several languages). There are many modes of transport nearby (two different tram lines and buses, plus a farther uphill walk to the metro). There are also lots of local cafes and a supermarket nearby, Plus a gorgeous church (Sta Catarina) for Sunday service. Uphill there is a nice Miradouro (belvedere) that has a nice view, a restaurant and a 'watering hole' that sells beer (gets crowded with young locals for sunset.)
ohh! I won't say to much, we had an amazing experience! Thank you Pedro!!!!
