This place is just wonderful - perfect for a couple. You WILL fall in love with Lisbon if you stay here. We loved it so much we stayed a few extra nights!
Manuela met me for check in and had a whole lot of tips and local knowledge. She even texted me a fantastic list of local places and tips - and details about a Lisbon festival on that weekend!
Bed was soo comfortable, wifi worked perfectly, working washer with big clothes rack, the bathroom was fine (not that small - other people said it was small but it was a normal 1bed flat size). Kitchen is well equipped with coffee pod machine and everything we needed for cooking. Great views out to the river, over the clay rooftops! There are grocery stores nearby, and a hipster Copenhagen cafe right down the block with, dare I say, Melbourne-quality coffee! - great enough to please us Aussie coffee snobs!
The place is in the very charming old town, about 20 minutes walk from the centre of Lisbon (or a short tram ride). We were worried it might be ‘too far out’ but you’ve got so many sights in this neighbourhood that actually draws people out of the city - if you stay in the city you’ll come this way anyway. There are even some of the best rated bars and restaurants just up the road. You’re right on the cusp of Alfama, (famous quirky neighbourhood), 2 blocks from the pantheon, right near a castle and a monastery, and a twice weekly flea market... it’s so charming! And the Uber to/from the airport costs like €7, it’s so close. A short distance to the river too, which is great for a traffic-free morning run.
I highly recommend!
