Gorgeous apartment with all the comforts of home! Sonia and Tiago have outdone themselves with the rennovation which combines modern amenities inside a historic building. All the essentials are well-stocked and make this wonderful for a long stay. Kitchen came complete with cookware, good dishes, and spices as well as cleanup products and laundry products. Bathroom has a rainfall shower with good shampoo and hairdryer, and the walk-in closet motivated me to unpack and settle in. All I needed to do was show up with my suitcase!
Sonia provided excellent recommendations on where to eat and sightseeing, and was always available if I needed anything. The neighborhood and flat are both quiet in the evening, as it a pedestrian-only street, and filled with pleasantries of the city during the day with several sidewalk cafes. Lots of good Portuguese food and coffees nearby. Bus service made it easy to get around the city, and it’s close location to Cais do Sodre (train station) gave easy access to the Metro and day trips by train to Cascais, Belém, and Sintra.
Next time I’m in Lisboa, I’ll be staying at Sonia’s!
