A brilliant place to stay.
Príncipe Real is lovely and you’re only a 30 second walk from the Main Street that runs through the area and down into the centre. Tonnes of brilliant restaurants, bars and coffee shops to be found just wandering the streets around the apartment.
Job checked us in and spent a great deal of time running through the map and his tips to make the most of Lisbon. We certainly appreciated this as they helped us to enjoy our time in Lisbon greatly.
It’s a very pleasant 15 mins walk down to the centre, another 5 minutes will see you at the front next to the TimeOut market (incredible by the way!)
There’s a funicular (Gloria) that will take the sting out of the climb from the centre to the apartment but unfortunately this wasn’t open for our stay. It wasn’t a particularly steep walk anyway to get up to Príncipe Real.
For fish lovers there’s an amazing restaurant called A Cevicheria on the doorstep. Make sure you get there early though as no reservations! Can also recommend Tapisco, Momento and Altalho Real as restaurants to eat within a few minutes of the apartment.
Barrio Alto is nearby which is packed full of lively bars and restaurants.
The apartment itself is lovely but beware it’s 6 flights of stairs to get up! Only really a struggle with suitcases, after that it was no problem.
Bed was very comfortable and the air con in the lounge did a great job keeping us pleasantly cool through the night.
You can get some great views from the apartment’s windows and small outside space out over Lisbon and towards Belém.
Very quiet at night.
Nothing really to fault, a great place to stay!
