The host was extremely welcoming and provided excellent communication on meeting times and availability of check in! The apartment was everything we could ask for, bright, airy, spacious and perfect for a couple. There were lovely views out to the street on both sides, and the building felt very secure. The host even provided a welcome bottle of wine, and a great collection of printed information for both restaurants, bars and local historic sites.

The area is completely unassuming - we arrived on a Saturday morning but it was clear there had been some festivities in the street the night before. That evening, and every evening around 6/7pm the ground floor of many buildings on the street open their shutters and emerge as bars and restaurants (if in the area during the day, you wouldn't know any of this exists as it's closed up). There are plenty of places to choose from for food and drinks, all on the doorstep of the apartment - including owners bar & tapas restaurant!

If you're looking for a quiet street, this might not be for you, as there's plenty of coming and going in the street, day and night (I should note that the street cleaners are hard at work early, removing any trace of the nights festivities). But if it's your first time in Lisbon (like it was for us), and you're looking for somewhere with plenty of places to eat and drink - this is the spot to stay!

In addition, the apartment is centrally located to just about everything we wanted to do, and only a 5-10minute walk down to the waterfront. Situated close to major tram lines, a supermarket and shopping district, this really was a perfectly positioned apartment.

Amenities in the apartment are everything you could need, all with contemporary decor! We could not fault this apartment, and would definitely stay again if heading back to the city!

Thank you Raquel!
