This apartment is gorgeous, modern and practical with some homely finishing touches. Looks as good in person as it does in the pictures. Amazing welcome, including complimentary port, with lots of local (and very useful) tips which made our stay much easier. Very clean. Close to the train station and the airport. Short walk to midtown and train connections to Sintra. Lots of bus connections to attractions slightly further out of town eg Belém and LX factory. We fell in love with Portugal. Especially the food. Highlight: Sal Grosso (taverna) for budget friendly and exceptional food and service. Reserve via FB page in advance, booked up most nights but thanks to a tip from Lara we managed to grab the last table available on our first night, and then begged them to stay open late for lunch on our last day. If you are staying for more than a few days, I would recommend 2 spent in Sintra. Stunning. Visited Castelos mouros (1hr), Quinta da regaleria aka place with the beautiful well, and an underground labyrinth of caves/grottos (3hr) and park and palace of Monserrate (2hr). Pasteis de Belém were worth the hype. Jardin Botânico da ajuda is a hidden gem 15 minutes north of the monastery with stunning gardens, peacocks, views of the river. LX factory was a great place to visit late afternoon for street art, edgy shopping, eateries, awesome book shop and rooftop bar. Enjoyed free walking tour and learnt a lot about the history of Portugal. Alfama and the area surrounding Belém are beautiful and good for looking at interesting tiles. Bring flat shoes, and be warned, the drinks are strong!
