This apartment is a wonderful place to stay in, with sweeping views across parklands, beautifully and comfortably furnished, with everything you need for a peaceful, relaxing place to come home to after a day of exploring Lisbon. The balcony and living areas have really beautiful views. The apartment shares the neighbourhood - and the same views (at an eighth the price) with the Hotel Ritz - Four Seasons opposite the apartment, and other of the city’s upmarket hotels. From the apartment, it’s a short walk to the city down the tree-lined Avenida Liberdade (with market stalls on Saturdays) , and in the other direction, a pleasant 15 minute walk across the park to the Calouste Gulbenkian museum, one of the best smaller museums in Europe, with the added bonus of a tranquil garden (complete with flowing streams) within the museum grounds. Also close by is El Corte Ingles department store at San Sebastiao, with upmarket clothing, and wonderful traditional Portuguese food, either to eat in, or buy “pratos preparados” to take home.
Tiago was a great, friendly host, his communication was excellent and the instructions for accessing the apartment very clear. He was always ready to help if needed, although this wasn’t necessary during my stay as everything went very smoothly. The bed and living room couches are very comfortable for a great night’s sleep in the quiet, cool bedroom. There’s a great cafe straight across the street from the apartment, with great coffee and pastries, and hot breakfasts if that’s your thing, and a small grocery store 100 metres up the road. The metro is a 7 minute walk down the hill. Tiago’s apartment is a perfect place to stay when you’re visiting Lisbon. Highly recommended.
