This is a FANTASTIC apartment in a great location that's safe and fun. The only reason it isn't 5 stars for us is because we didn't sleep much due to the noise outside. As it is the summer we had to have windows open so maybe it's not so bad during the cooler months. The tram goes by every 15 mins and there are lots of 'lively' people shouting in the streets at all hours and cars/trucks honking their horns... so be warned.
But noisiness is the price you pay for such a brilliant Bairro Alto location in amongst the locals and nightlife. So much of Lisbon is walkable from the apartment or you can catch the 28 train from outside or find a taxi easily. You must try Park bar (on top of the car park), Madame Petisca, Pharmacia... all within 5-10 minutes walk from the apartment. And for a slap up meal with a view, book the top floor of Chapito which is near the Castle.
This apartment is the most luxurious place to stay; Ricardo has thought of everything and it is designed perfectly for use as well as extremely beautiful to look at. Ricardo, we loved your artistic style and we will replicate it at home!
It was our honeymoon and he left us cava and chocolates - such a kind gesture. He also took the time to point out all the best places to visit, eat and catch wonderful views of the city. Thank you!
You MUST stay here for a local neighbourhood experience but with a touch of luxury and cool.
