Great location and beautiful apartment!
We were so glad that Maria's place was available, as we booked at short notice. Once upstairs, the apartment has two gorgeous French windows which open up onto a view of Lisbon's pretty rooftops. Being in Bairro Alto there's no shortage of places to go out. The bar at the base of the building means the streets below are always buzzing but this won't disturb the peace you'll find as you climb the stairs for the night.
Lisbon is such a great place full of things to see and do so everyone will have their own plan. We would however, really recommend turning up to the Lisbon Chill Out Tour (a 'free' 3 hour walking tour of the city) which has great, enthusiastic guides and will really give you a feel for the city as opposed to a historic commentary.
Once again, thanks to Maria for letting us make her wonderful apartment our home for a few days. We will be back!
