Lapa studio is the perfect home for spending a couple or many days in the beautiful city of Lisboa. The place is located in a very steep hill in the Lapa neighborhood, a residential district primarily populated by senior adults, therefore a very expensive and calm area.
Although a bit separated from Lisbona centro and the famous neighborhoods, a few blocks away you may take a tram that visits all places of interest.
As for the apartment, it is a lovely decorated, first-floor studio with plenty of light and space. The only inconvenience is the tile floors, which although beautiful can get very dirty very quickly. Apart from that, no complaints, the studio is well equipped, accessible, and clean.
Nuno was a good, timely, and effective host. He recommended local spots to eat, shop, or visit landmarks around the neighborhood and in more touristic areas.
Some points about the location:
It is quiet and feels more portuguese in the sense that you won't see many tourists here.
There are some very good restaurants such as the famous Batata Doçe, as well as easy access to pharmacies and grocery shops.
The view on the street is spectacular because of the steepness of the long road. You are able to see the sea and the descending city of Lisboa. However, be careful when walking as the cobbled streets can easily twist an ankle or make you fall.
Overall, a wonderful stay and visit.
