It really is the BEST LOCATION,VIEW and DECORATION. What
Filipa and Sergio failed to mention is that they are also the PERFECT HOSTS!!! The apartment is steps away from the train station (Sintra, Cacais) and Metro. Easy to get from airport to apartment. It's on the 3rd floor ~ no elevator but the stairs get you in shape for the hills of Lisbon. The apartment is stunning ~ very clean, roomy ~ complete with comfy beds and everything you need for a wonderful vacation. Sergio was very helpful with restaurants suggestions, sightseeing ideas for our visit, directions; really anything we needed. He got back to me very quickly with any questions I had. Supermarket 2 blocks away. Great coffee shop across the street. Many restaurants and shops within walking distance. So convenient ~ we absolutely loved staying here and would stay here again if/when we return to Lisbon. IF this apartment is available, I would stay here in a heartbeat... and if it isn't ~ I would check out another one of their apartments. I'm sure they are all lovely. They really went above and beyond anything I expected from a host. The best Lisbon has to offer!
Here are some of our favorite places: Decadente (ate here twice!) you will not be disappointed. Limoncello (yes, Italian, but very good) Bon Jardim ~ great roasted chicken. We spent a day walking around Lisbon ~ through the various neighborhoods, went to the Castelo de S. Jorge and the flea market (Tues and Sat). A trip to Sintra is a must ~ the Palace and the Moorish Castle are amazing. There are family rates (2 adults, 2 children under 18).
Wear comfortable shoes!!! There is loads of walking to do and although public transportation is excellent, seeing the city on foot truly gives you a feel of this wonderful city. The wine is delicious and the local beer, Super Bock, hits the spot after a day of touring the city.
As for the apartment ~ do not think twice about booking this apartment. Book it now! Everything is top notch and the view amazing.
Can't wait to go back!!!
