It turns out that this apartment is a perfect choice for Lisbon.

Firstly, it is a lovely home - elegant, comfortable and spacious. Lovely light comes in from the front rooms overlooking the pedestrian street (but no noise with the windows closed) and you can step out to a small balcony to be part of the activities of the street. You will find everything you need in the apartment and particularly the kitchen which is very well fitted-out. Everything has been done with quality and care.

Then, it has a great location. We didn't think so initially because it's on a street with lots of touristy cafes but actually they stop just before the apartment building and you have a lovely restaurant downstairs and a supermarket next door. Take a few more steps and you are at the Number 28 tram stop.

The other good thing is that this part of the city is flat, so although it's wonderful walking up and down the hills of Lisbon all day, its also good to know that it's an easy stroll from home for dinner. And that includes walking to the Mercado de Ribeira, Lisbon's market which we highly recommend for produce but particularly the food hall which is full of individual restaurants and food experiences that you won't want to miss.

We are pleased to highly recommend this apartment. And of course, beautiful Lisbon itself.
