We loved and enjoyed our stay at Vila Olarias. It’s very stylish, modern and clean. The apartment has all the essentials we needed for our 1 week trip in Lisbon. Our initial booking was for 5 days only but we extended 2 more days because we felt very relaxed and comfortable.
We booked an Uber from Lisbon Int’l airport for convenience. Uber in Lisbon is cheaper compared to other European cities like Rome and Amsterdam. It was a 25 minute ride. With our couple of heavy luggage, it was only a minute uphill climb to the apartment from where the Uber dropped us.
The nearest metro station is Martim Moniz. It’s a 5 minute walk from the apartment. Close to the station, you can ride the famous Tram 28. But go early to avoid a very long queue.
There’s a couple of convenient store down the hill but we always went to Pingo Doce (like Carrefour) and it’s around 10-15 minutes on foot.
About the neighborhood, we felt safe even walking late at night. And that’s very important. The location is wonderful. It’s a walking distance to the city centre, metro and tram station, to Castel de S. Jorge, Baixa District, and more.
Staying at the apartment made our Lisbon trip much better than we anticipated. Thanks to you both! All the best! :)
