This apartment is right in the non-touristy part of the city. But, that does not mean that there isn’t great coffee shops, restaurants, and nice people here. Within 20 steps, there were three coffee shops. We got an Uber to different parts of the city and it was about 4 to 5 Euros in any direction.
The apartment was very safe, and the free parking was an added bonus. We had a small SUV and it fit (it was tight!) , anything larger than that most likely would not fit in the garage.
Ana met us at the apartment as promised and walked us through everything there. Having a hairdryer for us to use was extremely helpful. The bed in the back bedroom although smaller than others in the house, was very comfortable. The building was a little bit noisy- we could hear a barking dog, people talking and someone’s tv. It was not overly loud, I just don’t think that the apartments are very soundproof. We live on a busy street at home so the noise coming from the main road that the apartment is on did not bother us. You have to understand that you are in the city, so if you are looking for peace and quiet this is not where you want to stay. It is not overly noisy, just not quiet, people live here.
The apartment has some very beautiful features like the traditional tile, and the porches outside the bedrooms the tile/marble is very pretty. In the warmer months, I can see how the back terrace would be a wonderful place to sit out and enjoy a meal... I was pleasantly surprised when there was a sleeping kitty on the porch when I woke up!
This apartment is perfect for a couple or a family looking to stay in Lisbon but just a bit outside of the tourist spots. The two bathrooms both with showers/tubs were great for my husband and I. I hate sharing!
Thanks Ana for a great stay!!
