A great base to explore Lisbon from, very close to the 28 tram and with great views across the rooftops and over to the bay.
The apartment is very clean and homely, on the top floor with an elevator to third and a couple of flights to the front door, apartment is well laid out, main bedroom is spacious and comfortable, bedroom 2 is a good size with the same views across town as the lounge.
Kitchen is cosy with a Nespresso machine and pods already provided by the host, we ate out so cannot comment on functionality of the equipment, the cooker looked new.
Lounge is cool, chaise longue and sofa combo makes the room very inviting, large dining table, smart TV and good free WiFi.
Bathroom is clean and has a loo with a view! You can see the dome of the basilica while going about your business. Occasional whiff coming up through the pipes but nothing to get bothered about, it's an old building and you should expect a little life to come in, no problem for us. Great shower, clean towels, plenty of hot water.
Location:
As I already mentioned, turn left out of the huge front door and there are a couple of coffee shops (extremely cheap, you can think they made a mistake with the bill) within 50ft, a really smart traditional barbers and a glorious park with coffee shop and pond. Small shop is left out of the apartment, left at the corner and 50 ft ahead. We usually walked into town and got a cab or 28 tram back in the evening, cabs are great value and easy to catch, tram can get absolutely packed like sardines, if you let the first packed tram go the next is usually empty! All roads down lead to the river.
Time Out is a waste of time, packed, hot, overpriced, find the smaller restaurants where the locals eat, central Lisbon prices are high but heading out a little gives a better feel for the town.
Ask Miguel for tips, he's more than willing to help, he's a great host, he's a super host!
