The apartment is located in an authentic portuguese neighborhood. When you walk in you're blown away by the lightning, be it the natural light streaming through the many windows or the highly stylish electrical lighting with an antique, hipsterish style to it.
Offering 2 big beds and a big comfortable couch, 2 bedrooms, this apartment is great for a romantic stay with your s.o. just the same as for a company of friends. You get everything you need for a long stay should you wish it: a table for six, a kitchen with all necessities, a washing machine. The unique style with which it's decorated will make you fall in love instantly. This is the coziest airbnb i've ever been to!
The balcony has a great view of Basilica da Estrela. The famous yellow trams stop right in front of it. There's a really cool park nearby with live geese and exotic (at least for me) birds, and the best waffles, which any person staying nearby should try, being sold right in front of the park. Speaking of food, in the same building as the apartment there's a lot authentic portuguese restaurants, but be warned! They're run by older portuguese that mostly don't speak english and don't care enough to offer any kind of service. Luckily there's an exception to this rule nearby. They have an english menu and one of the cooks speaks english. Their "seafood rice for 2 people" has no rivals. It's delicious and more than enough for two people. More than a contender to the stuff in the fancy restaurants with a view of the Tagus. You exit the alleyway, turn right, and the second glass door is the place you're looking for.
One of the great things of living here is you don't even need to use public transport to reach the city center. A walk of 30 downhill will get you there. The closest subway/metro station is 1.3km away, also downhill. If you plan to get a car - parking is doable, free from 7pm to 9am, but get ready to parallel park on slight inclines with 40-50 cm leeway remaining to either car on each end. If you plan to visit the beach often by car, the tollway is nearby. Surfers will be happy to know you can reach Carcavelos in 30 minutes more or less, depending on traffic, Guincho in 45.
If you're coming in the winter time, it's quite cold. There's a heater. For the summertime - an air conditioner. All of the necessary stuff like bed linens, towels, soap was provided and was of very good quality.
When we were leaving we forgot our winter jackets! Luckily our hosts were very responsive and we got our stuff before we had to leave the next day. We're very thankful. Staying here made our trip to Portugal that much more memorable.
