Chiado Design Apartment by Esther is all we were looking for and more! Having never been to Lisboa before . As a mother & two 25 yr. old young ladies on tour, safety, central proximity, accessibility to all was most important.
Esther's description is perfect and everything from the inquiry, access from a very late arrival and arranging method to arrive was perfect for us weary travelers.
The awaiting treat of a bottle of wine, nice, fruit, bread and meat & cheese in the comforts of a modern and well designed and clean and very welcoming home... We were in bliss from the start-
Esther was there for recommendations and once we stepped foot out on the road, we found ourselves truly within the center and heart of Lisbon' s main sights to explore.
Train,metro, bus truly minutes away from main station. Fantastic farmers' Mercado de Rebeira with freshest seafood and meats , also the new nice but pricey food court!
The apartment stairs in the old charming building is envigorating( no lift)worth the view and the peek view and outdoor deck is a delight, morning light and afternoon sunset colors and twinkling light of the span bridge.
The adventures await with the apartment close enough to drop yourself or bags and hit the road again.
Proximity for the likes of history art and design and culture was there for me and for the ladies, the boutiques, night character and walk or bike adventures just steps safely away.
As "foodies" we could not get enough! We cooked in with all the kitchen needs and supplies as if it was our own kitchen, market just around the corner for anything more. Restaurants of ever taste and level.e
Thank you Esther for sharing your lovely apartment to us, so comfortable for 5 if needed! We hope to return and know where to stay and tell our friends to as well.
From Hawaii to Lisboa- aloha!
everything we expected, wanted and more! All the best to you and family!
