We had a fantastic 4 night stay in Rute’s apartment. She greeted us on arrival and showed us around the apartment making sure we understood where everything was. She has lots of information about Lisbon and has done a guide in several languages. The apartment is very clean and has all the equipment needed to ensure a comfortable stay. There is a well equipped kitchen with oven, hob, kettle, toaster, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, iron/ board and a clothes washer. Plenty of hot water and towels plus extra bedding. The apartment is on the 4th floor but has a lift. There are 2 supermarkets near the apartment and one is open to about midnight. Bars and restaurants nearby. The nearest subway we found was Pombal, about 10 minutes walk, and we could get to lots of places. We could also walk to Baixi if we wanted and there were also buses. The 24 hour pass was terrific value. I recommend a stay at Rute’s apartment . Rute is a great communicator and and correspondence is dealt with quickly. Nothing is too much trouble for her.
