We had such a wonderful experience at Joana and Abilio’s apartment! This was our first trip to Portugal, and the location of the apartment was perfect for visiting all of the neighborhoods. Transportation by tram and bus were literally outside the window, and the Baixa-Chiado metro was a very quick walk - so easy to get there from the airport. The apartment was modern and very clean, and Joana greeted us with some pastel de nata (you MUST have some while in Lisbon…the best we tasted was from Manteigaria a block away). Very firm mattress, plenty of hot water in the shower with very good water pressure, and the street noise that some mentioned wasn’t a problem for us - we slept with the windows open every night (but had it been louder, the windows and shutters would have easily blocked out any late night sounds). There’s a sunset spot a few minutes away at Miradouro de Santa Caterina…great spot to grab some cheap beer or drinks and enjoy the live street musicians while watching the sun go down. We can’t wait to return and will definitely stay here again!
