A great base for exploring Lisbon. A minute or two walk to Cais Do Sodre rail station and Time Out Market. A square out the front with a Pastelaria open early, a kiosk for beers open late and a mini-supermarket a few doors away. Short (but, obviously, hilly!) walks to lively Bairro Alto, to Chiado for shopping and a nice flat stroll along the river to Praca do Commercio. We were spoilt for choice with places to eat and drink. The square and surrounding streets seemed to get quite lively and busy at the weekends in the early hours, but we were completely undisturbed by this in the apartment. Good solid windows!
Sofia's apartment is spotlessly clean, well-equipped and as comfortable and stylish as it looks in the photographs. There were four of us sharing and we never felt cramped, there is plenty of space. As mentioned in the description, the apartment is on the third floor with no lift, but after we had got our bags up there on arrival, there was really no struggle. It's a good warm-up for pounding the hills of Lisbon! Sofia was quick and easy to communicate with. We really enjoyed our stay.
