We absolutely loved our stay in Lisbon and this apartment was perfect for our needs. We loved the high ceilings and decorative trim as well as the decor. The rooms were a great size. Lots of closet space which was really nice to have. Windows blocked out noise from the streets well. Nicely sized kitchen with large fridge, dishwasher, and washing machine. Beautiful sitting area in the family room with TV and nice views.
The location is really convenient for walking to Praca do Comercio/Baixa, Barrio Alto and Alfama areas. It is situation on a steep alley which can be tough for driving/pick ups and strollers but also means the unit is farther away from a lot of the city noise. The building felt very safe and entry was easy – Elevators nice to have. Easy to get cabs and tuk tuks from the little square just down the alleyway. There are many shops, restaurants and grocery stores within a 5 minute walk of the apartment building, and some even in the same building.
Mercedes is the local caretaker, and she was wonderful - Helped us with our luggage the first day and was always available for questions. She even purchased our daughter vegetables from the grocery store after I mentioned we couldn't find what we were looking for at the local market. She was so very kind and we appreciate that very much.
We will always have very fond memories of our time in Lisbon and this beautiful apartment.
