Ana met us at the apartment as agreed and made us feel very welcome. She explained everything about the local area as well as the apartment and even recommended good places to eat and visit. Ana answered any questions we had with knowledge and experience and spoke perfect English. She is a wonderful host!
The apartment itself was just as beautiful as the photos and very spacious. The finish was to a very high standard and it was fully equipped. We bought fresh produce for breakfasts in the supermarket around the corner and ate out at the plentiful restaurants nearby. The air-conditioning worked really well and the beautiful wooden shutters kept out the light and noise for a very restful night's sleep. The beds were comfy with extra pillows and blankets if needed and the linen was of high quality and again all spotlessly clean. The bathroom was all marble with a good shower and thick soft towels. This was the perfect relaxing place to stay for 8 nights.

The neighbourhood was quiet yet very central for everything. A short walk one way and we were at the riverside with cafes, tourist information and even a beer museum!
The perfect location for a short break or longer stay.

Nearby you have all the transport you could need from the stop for the airobus (goes back and to the airport every 20mins), metro, famous Tram 28, ferry boats across and around the river, mainline trains and tuktuks!

You can walk in a few minutes to Alfama, Chiado or Barro Alto. The famous elevator is just a couple of roads away and there are more shops than you can ever need from designers to gift and craft shops.

We found some fantastic restaurants nearby and found the standard of local cuisine to be excellent.

We went for day trips to Belem, Cascais and Sintra all of which I highly recommend. Quinta da Regaliera was a hilight and if you go to the stunning beach town of Cascais walk around the headland to see the crashing waves at Boca Inferno.

Most restaurants weren't too busy in Sept/Oct and the weather was still very warm (like UK mid summer!) We were able to eat out in the evening at the open street restaurants.

Lisbon is wonderful but above all having Ana as our host made it so easy to relax and enjoy our time there - she is a gem!
I can't recommend the apartment highly enough, 10/10 for a perfect stay!
