We had a wonderful stay at this apartment! It was nicely decorated, clean, spacious, and full of natural light. The view from the master bedroom is lovely; you look out at the rooftops of Lisbon and the river beyond. The street is quiet but connects two larger avenues, one of which provides a stop on the famed #28 trolley. A charming neighborhood park lies just a short walk further up the hill on the other end of the street. A beautiful basilica adjoins it and you can access its upper terrace and dome for a small fee during the day, providing a great vantage point to view both the surrounding area and the church interior.
The kitchen is fully supplied with dishes, pots and pans, and full sized appliances, perfect for our stay of over a week. We appreciated having an ample stock of cleaning products, toilet paper etc.
There are several tasty neighborhood restaurants: Kefi offers great Greek food and is open throughout the afternoon, providing a nice option if you aren’t on local time yet for meals. Senhor Uva is fantastic. We are NOT vegetarians, but agreed that it was one of our best meals in Lisbon. The staff is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and incredibly welcoming.
Pedro was on site to welcome us and help us get settled. He was very helpful and available for any questions. The on site guide book provided ample instructions and information.
We should note that the apartment is accessed via a long set of narrow stairs and the apartment interior is divided into two levels as well, with the bedrooms on the upper floor. The pay off is terrific - you’re at the top of the building with the best access to the natural light, breezes, and views. We are fit, active 60 year old adults and did not have any problems but anyone with mobility issues should be aware.
Many thanks for a marvelous Airbnb experience! We truly felt that we were part of the local neighborhood while having easy access to all that Lisbon has to offer.
