A compact, but remarkably commodious, quiet apartment in the old building located in the centre of the busy city; besides the centre, it is perfect to reach all the major city districts within 20 mins by foot. Two subway stations and busses are within 5 mins walking on a slope (Lisbon is a hilly city). A tram going up the slope is even closer.
The apartment is pleasant, well-equipped, does not lack any modern convenience and has space for 2/3 people. It is on the first floor above the ground level with a steep staircase right after the building entrance.
The host, Henrique, met us at the Airport bus stop near the apartment in his car, loaded our numerous luggage and brought us to his building. If not for his thoughtful help, we would not be able to pull the luggage up the slope (we ought to have taken a taxi from the Airport). Once in the building, he hauled up the heaviest suitcases to the apartment. On departure, he took these suitcases down the stairs. Henrique has a lot of prepared maps and information about Lisbon, as well as his recommendations for wine, food and places to eat. He constantly communicates in very good English via messaging. He is flexible with arrangements and requests. We very highly recommend Henrique's place for exceptional hosting, the excellent location and the apartment quality.
