Sofia’s place is excellently located at Bairro Alto with plenty of markets , restaurants, boutiques and cafes within walking distance of 5 min or less , Chiado metro station 6-8 minutes away. Great food nearby! Try Alcoa confeitaria for tradicional Portuguese sweet treats, good pizza at Jamie’s Pizzeria, plenty of choices of any kind of food . The place is in the hub of Chiado but enough far away from the busy street noise , very quiet at night.
The place is new, well maintained and very cozy , perfect for my husband and I. It has all the amenities exactly as advertised. Mattress and pillows were very comfortable , bedroom has shutters to darken the room. AC was a major plus with the heat of the end of the Lisbon summer.
Washing machine works great, patio available to dry your clothes .
Keep in mind there’s one narrow flight of stairs ( about 8-10 steps) going up to reach the apt , which is very common in older buildings , but it was not a problem for us.
Sofia’s husband came to greet us in person to give us the keys and answer all our questions. It was a great experience all around, highly recommendable place !
