Carolina and Alex's place was perfect for exploring Lisbon from various angles. We felt right at home in the apartment. Though daytimes were actually rather warm, even in February, the evenings cooled down quite a bit. Travelers may want to know that many Portuguese homes do not have central heating and work with space heaters for heating homes in wintertime (a short season here). We were happy to know this ahead of time and when asking our hosts about this we were assured that the apartment heats quickly with the 2 provided space heaters and that indeed was true in our experience. We did need that extra layer of clothing and the space heaters.
Further Alex and Carolina were very easy to reach and quick to respond when any questions arose. The apartment has been decorated with great attention to detail. One favorite moment was a late afternoon when we took some time to sit with the sun on our backs and our books, and enjoy the view and the offerings at the terrace of the Health and Pharmacy Museum just down the street, a recommendation! The nearby Sta Catarina viewpoint is stunning, and we were happy to discover a great health food store (“FOOD”) just down the hill from the apartment and a lovely yoga studio (“Baraza”, strong classes) a 10-minute walk away. We much enjoyed our stay!
