We loved our stay at the apartment. It was clean, tidy, in a terrific location and everything we needed.
Firstly, the apartment is a really good size. The main bedroom is large, with air con, and there is tons of storage available. The kitchen and living areas are good sizes as well, and the second small bedroom is just up the stairs from there. But best of all is the balcony. It spreads the width of the apartment and gives a lovely view of the rooftops. Spending time on there in the evening is a fantastic way of ending any day!
The metro is a five minute walk down the hill from the apartment. Usually it takes around 15 minutes to get to the centre and main tourist parts of Lisbon from here. We got the daily metro ticket which cost around €6 a day. From there you can visit the city by foot or take the train to other parts. The airport is also 15 minutes on the metro, so getting this on arrival makes sense.
We only had a few difficulties. The first was finding the correct apartment building as we followed the co-ordinates given on the listing. This brought us to a building next to the Instituo Superior Tecnico. Instead, we should have headed for Av. Rovisco Pais. The building (no.8) is up the road from the Turim Alameda Hotel.
Secondly, we couldn't get the wifi to work. But this wasn't so much of a problem for us as we were out most of the time.
However, don't let these two small issues put you off staying here. The apartment is great. The location is fantastic too. Do yourselves a favour and book this apartment, you won't be disappointed!
