Leo’s Place is AMAZING!! 2nd visit to Lisbon but 1st time staying here and I have to say, compared to other apartments in the area, Leo’s is big! Excellent communication from the beginning and even let us leave our bags in the apartment after checking out (as no other guest coming that day) as we had a late flight. On arrival there were a few beers and bottle of wine in the fridge as well as milk, bottled water, tea, coffee etc. No air con but good fans and nice and airy if you leave have the bedroom door and lounge door open. Nice little terrace to sit on aswell :)
Location is great. Close to Rossio station for train to Sintra and only 10mins from Baixa-Chiado tube. Many bars around and loads of little supermarkets. You can walk to pretty much everything from here as long as you’re good with the many hills in Lisbon - it’s worth the walk though :)
The area is very lively especially at night and into the early hours - I knew that before going and it’s one of the reasons I wanted to be in the area. The apartment has double glazing so most of the noise is blocked out but if you’re a super light sleeper this might be an issue. It would be the same in any other apartment in the Bairro Alto / Santa Catarina area though.
Can’t wait to come back!!
