This is a great place to stay in Lisbon. The apartment is comfortable, clean and well furnished. The view is breathtaking! After two days we realized what a perfect location we were in to see the city by foot. Out of the apt. turn right and walk about 200 yds. to a new little cafe with sidewalk seating. Even in December it was mild enough to sit outside and people watch and the manager brings small, soft blankets to wrap about your shoulders.
To your right is a glass elevator that takes you down to the next street below. (cafe on 7th level, street below on 1st.) There is a grocery store right there with everything you might want-beer, liquor, deli, bakery.( Pick up some extra toilet paper while you are there.)
The important thing to know is that if you start your wandering on this lower level, you have easy access to trams, buses, taxis and lots of the sights. Everywhere else we wanted to go was uphill and we learned to take a taxi to the highest point we wanted to explore and then walk back. Taxis cost about 5 Euros to go anywhere, cheaper then a bus for the three of us.
Also on the street the apt. is on, it's a short walk, is a terrific restaurant "Chapito" which was voted the 7th best bar with a view in the world by Conde Nast. Food and service were exceptional. And beyond this place are shops and the entrance to the castle. The streets are very narrow in this neighborhood and made of cobblestone, as are the sidewalks. Comfortable shoes are a must.
When we first arrived at the apt. (two hours late from our flight) Helena was there waiting for us. She spent a lot of time showing us around and explaining things to us. Most importantly, she gave us her cell number and invited us to call if we had any questions or issues. We did get in touch with her a couple of times to ask directions or other info and she was most helpful.
We enjoyed have the satellite TV, especially since we could watch old Miami Vice episodes. The washer and dryer came in most handy and the bathrooms are very good.
I would say that this is a great place to stay in LIsbon. Great attention has been taken to make guests comfortable and we found it to be a perfect choice for us.
