Overall, a very lovely place. Gorgeous and cosy apartment, but with ample room. It’s designed to sleep 2 people, but you can certainly have quite a few people over for dinner and hanging out, as there’s plenty of seating in the living room and dining area. A view of the iconic 25 of April bridge, quiet, calm…
Could do with a little more privacy, but nothing a few more curtains throughout can’t help with, so I hope the owners take on my suggestions. Access to a very good train line only 4 minutes walk away (if not working on weekends, there’s other train stations close by- check your maps for all updates! So useful!)
Need a cab? Uber will be there within a few minutes. Want Uber Eats because you don’t feel like going out? Plenty of amazing options. Want to eat out? Tonnes of places so close by, within walking distance, but easy enough to go anywhere else you wish!
Just be prepared to walk up to the top floor as it’s quite narrow, and rather high up. But once inside you’ll see and feel just how welcoming and lovely this apartment is!
I’m glad I got to stay here in the end. It was an area I heard of but never really paid it much attention. Only to discover just how lovely it is, with access to so much! I only covered a tiny fraction of it, so I definitely suggest exploring Alcântara. And when the day is done, you have a lovely apartment to go back to. 😊
