We had a wonderful week at Marta & Mariana's place in Lisbon. The apartment is newly renovated, very clean, neat, and well decorated. It's located conveniently in a quiet part of town, and accessible on foot via bus or subway. Although not recommended for large, heavy luggage as sidewalks are all cobblestone, and a decent uphill trek from the metro. Also the apartment is on the 3rd floor (4th floor for Americans), with extended landing between floors as each floor have high ceilings. As the apartment building is older (with lots of character) so is the narrower wooden staircase. Not great for travelers (our friend) with large suitcases. It's a great place to experience living like a local, which is exactly what we wanted.
There are many restaurants nearby within walking distance, and a nice supermarket on the way to the subway station. We were greeted in person on arrival, and we're given a nice bottle of wine and some delicious local desserts. The beds and pillows are soft and comfortable, and the rooms are cozy and well appointed. We were provided with portable heaters in every room which is nice as temperature dropped to below 10℃ at night.
We definitely would stay at Marta & Mariana place again on our next visit to beautiful Lisbon.
