From the moment we arrived at the apartment, we were made to feel welcome by Rita, who took the time to show us all the amenities of the place, and to review an information binder that described the neighborhood and the many must-see sights of Lisbon.
This apartment was exactly as described: charming, roomy, and perfect for a couple looking to enjoy the best of Lisbon. The windows let in a lot of light, and when closed, effectively blocked out any traffic noise. Though we rarely needed it, the air-conditioning was a very nice amenity. But the absolute best thing about the apartment is its location: in an authentic Portuguese neighborhood, but near everything a tourist would need. We especially enjoyed the many cafés and restaurants nearby.
Our hosts also helped get us reservations at a nearby Fado restaurant. It was a real treat, and I recommend it to every visitor. It was just one of the many things that Rita and Miguel did for us, and we're so grateful!
We hope to return to this charming place next year!
