We had a wonderful week in Lisboa made even better by our stay at Casa Branca l. It was so nice to have the space of this lovely, recently renovated apartment. Having a separate living room (with a typical Portuguese tiny balcony that we could stand on and watch the world go by) meant I could sleep later than my partner and was not disturbed. It also gave us a nice sitting area to relax in, whether we chose to read, plan the next day's activities or watch TV (with English channels as well as Portuguese). We appreciated having excellent wifi throughout the apartment. Both the bathroom and kitchen were as in the pictures. They both were spacious enough with quality fittings and appliances. We liked having breakfast there every morning and also made some other meals. The grocery store was nearby and had a good selection. There is also a little shop right next door that we bought some bread and fruit. We didn't make use of the 2nd bedroom but it is nice if you need it. The main bedroom was very nice and the beds were comfortable. In the main entranceway are 2 large closets with shelves, drawers and hangers. I loved all the space! It meant I was able to 'move in' and not have to live out of my suitcase.
Tânia was a welcoming and pleasant host. The list of shops to visit for quality Portuguese items and recommendations for restaurants was fabulous. We were able to walk to all (between 2 and 20 minutes). Finally, the location was perfect for us. It is not in the centre of the party zone which we really appreciated. We lived among locals yet close to everything. I heartily recommend this apartment.
