Luis’ apartment is on the sixth floor (there is a lift which makes life easy) and offers some great views from the main balcony to the living space and the smaller balcony to the bedroom. Upon arrival we were greeted by Luis who gave us a quick and friendly introduction to the apartment, all the amenities, and the best local bars/restaurants and travel connections. He had also provided some cheese, nuts, fruit and Port which were all delicious!
The kitchen area has 2 coffee machines (espresso and filter), an induction hob, kettle, sink, fridge-freezer, and a machine for making all sorts. Luis had stocked the coffee up for us and also the fruit bowl, as well as some other really helpful bits.
There’s a shower/bath combo in the bathroom, as well as all the toilet/sink etc. The bed was quite comfortable and a really good size, the bedroom itself is spacious and leads on to a small private balcony, and there’s a big wardrobe/closet.
Getting in to the city centre was a doddle, and only took about 10/15 minutes. There were regular buses you could catch from about a minute’s walk from the apartment block, or the railway station (with a metro station) was about a 10 minute walk. The neighbourhood itself was nice and quiet, away from the noise of the city, but with plenty of shops open early till late.
All in all we really enjoyed Luis’ apartment, and Luis himself was incredibly helpful and quick to respond if we had any questions for him. We’d highly recommend Luis’ apartment for anyone visiting Lisbon who wants somewhere comfy and quiet to retreat to at the end of a busy day.
Thanks again, Luis. It was a really wonderful trip!
