This apartment stands out in our Airbnb experiences in so many ways, from the basics to the hospitality touches. It is an excellent base for beginning to explore Lisbon and nearby areas such as Belém and Cascais. A major transit node, Cais do Sodre, is an easy 20 minutes walk away, allowing access to the metro and to train lines. The Time Out market, with its delectable array of foods, is nearby. There is a bakery downstairs where staff are welcoming and informative, and the croissant smells delight the senses. The Quimera craft brew pub is nearby, and needs to be experienced. We have decided that we will return to Lisbon for longer, and will hope to stay here again. Ana Maria was a joy to meet and learn from, and was always quickly helpful.
