The appartment is situated in a very nice neighbourhood in Lisbon, close to the Ascensor de Bica and the Ribeira Market. It’s very light with a lot of windows. The appartement was very clean when we arrived thanks to Ruth the nice cleaning lady. We had some trouble getting into the appartment because she didn’t hear us ringing and knocking on the door. But afterwards when we were in, she was very helpful. The appartment has lots of nice old details and is renovated in an attractive way. Alas some of the nice details and props used on the pictures are not there (anymore), like the red lamps, the dog and the paintings. The appartment is located above a very nice, old cafe, but the double-glazed windows keep a lot of the music and noise outside. We stayed there for 9 days in octobre/novembre and had never trouble sleeping. More noise is coming from the upstairs neighbour(s), who make lot’s of noise in the middle of the night.
We loved the ancient trams that ride in the street. You can view them very well from the apprtment.
In the neighbourhood are a lot of nice restaurants. We can recommend some we visited in the nearby Rua da Bica (where the tram is going up): our favorite Os Bons Malandros, Dona Saudade and Restaurante Alto Minho.
We enjoyed Lisbon very much. We didn’t meet with the hosts, but Daniel acted like an online servicedesk for all our questions. We can recommend this appartment.
