This is a gem of a place - so spacious, wonderfully clean and luxurious. Everything works well - from the oven and the coffee machine to the TV and Wi-Fi. The beds are super comfortable and the showers are just perfect. The outside space gets morning and afternoon sun and the beautifully tiled walls remind you that you're in Portugal. From check-in to check-out, everything is so easy about staying here. No keys required, just a code, which is always a plus. Julie Marie, Cathy and Luis are the perfect hosts and know when to be there for you.
The location is far more central that it looks to be on the map. There are lots of bars and restaurants nearby, as well as numerous supermarkets in every direction. The 10-minute walk to Bairro Alto is a steep descent and climb but well worth it and gets easier every time. The 28 tram is a short hop through Estrela Park and was fun to ride all the way to the Castle - but we learnt to take it early or late in the day only as it got so packed. Estrela Park itself was a true delight too.
We stayed in Lisbon during a very busy tourist-filled Easter holiday and it was a relief to come back to the quiet apartment to escape the crowds. Thank you for our super week! We would stay here again, without question.
