Wonderful apartment in a great location!
We arrived during a taxi strike....fortunately I remembered that the owners had given us Metro instructions as well. We followed the detailed info and arrived at the apartment shortly (easy Metro ride, but did require a transfer). The owners were waiting for us out front when we arrived. We were very tired after a long journey. We very much appreciated the groceries that were placed there for our arrival (coffee, bread, olives, milk & juice).This was a thoughtful gesture and MOST appreciated!
The apartment was beautifully decorated and furnished, just like the photos! The location (just off the Praca Luis de Camoes) of the apartment was ideal for visiting the many attractions. The famous bakery Manteigaria is right across the square and we went there daily for Pastel de Nata (1 euro each, warm & tasty). The neighborhood and surroundings offered endless restaurants (the Michelin star restaurant Alma is a stone's throw from the apt. ...very good!) and endless shopping (our favorite store BUREL for blankets).
The apartment is very comfortable with everything you will need. There are hats (men & women) for sunny days, and an umbrella as well.
The only downside is that the plaza/square Luis de Camoes is quite noisy, and often times doesn't quiet down until 2 or 3 in the morning! If you are a light sleeper, this may be problematic. However if you are like us and come from a metropolitan city, it was not a big deal. There are even earplugs provided!
All and all, a lovely apartment is a nice building in a great location. We would certainly return :)
