This tastefully renovated 3rd floor apartment is spacious, centrally located and exactly as pictured. The 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom layout worked perfectly for our family with 2 teenagers. Joao greeted us, provided an overview of how the appliances and HVAC worked and ensured we had what we needed when we checked in. Everything was spotless when we arrived and there was some coffee, bottled water & a bottle of wine to welcome us.
We stayed over New Years Eve and were able to walk to the fireworks at Praca do Comercio and many sites during our week in Lisbon. Uber worked seamlessly to transport us to areas that were too far to walk.
The new cruise ship terminal nearby meant that there were lots of people milling about at night. We always felt very safe. The double glazed windows allowed us to close out the city sounds at night.
There is a convenience store for essentials and 2 cafes for breakfast/lunch in the same block as the apartment and many restaurants within a 10 minute walk. We would recommend the following nearby:
Portela Cafe - 'bread of god' pastry and coffee for breakfast
Queen Amelia - yummy sandwiches for 2.50 Euros for lunch to go
Tabuas Porto Wine Tavern - wine + cheese + charcuterie board = heavenly way to end the day
We did a few guided tours within Lisbon, a bike trip near Trafaria, a day trip to Sintra and Cascais and spent an afternoon at the aquarium. Even with all that, we barely scratched the surface of what Lisbon has to offer. We will be back and wouldn't hesitate to stay at Ana's apartment again!
