We absolutely loved this apartment. The location is quiet, so we slept well into the morning (9:30 AM leisurely wake-ups, perfect for holiday). There's a couple restaurants and bars lower down the hill, which was ideal for moments where we wanted just a bite or just one drink without diving into the larger city. We felt very safe walking around at night (2 mid-20s females).
Fatima was an excellent host. She gave us many recos via text, and was super responsive when we needed an earlier check-in.
I loved the pull-out couch, while my friend enjoyed the bedroom. Shower water pressure was great. We also loved that the TV is connected to Netflix, and we caught up on a few shows together. Apartment has fantastic amenities on the whole. It felt like we had everything we needed! Fatima also welcomed us with amazing pastel de nata, and there were many biscuits available, as well as oranges, apples, bananas, ice in the freezer, coffee, tea, etc. This was great for our late mornings!
It's quite close to Principe Real, which has many more shops, restaurants, bars, etc. We loved Season (up the stairs then down the hill) - amazing seafood. Also loved buying cheeses at Queijaria Cheese Shop and having a picnic at the Botanical Garden, which is only a few blocks away from the apartment door. I recommend you check out Copenhagen Coffee for amazing bread, coffee, and cardamom buns. We also had brunch at nearby Zenith, which was very good but definitely a larger meal.
There's a nearby health / bulk food store called Casa a Granel - if you're into organic and natural foods, you'll love exploring this space. We purchased quite a few gifts (like thyme acorn butter, natural oils) for friends and family here.
We stayed from July 8-14. At times, apartment gets a bit stuffy, but that's solved in a few minutes if you open the blinds, windows, and run the fans.
