This apartment is a quiet gem hidden away from the bustle of the city. We loved returning to relax on the balcony or in the cool air conditioning in the heat of the afternoon! It’s a short and pleasant walk to Baixa and very quick to the Avenida metro station (very doable with suitcases too). Two of the funiculares (lavra and Gloria) are very close. Breakfast coffee and pastries can be picked up for a very reasonable price at a local cafe and there are a few small shops to grab a bottle of wine or beers. Do book into Sr Lisboa at the bottom of The street for a meal - absolutely fantastic food! Another top tip (but a bit further away) is the restaurant on the top floor of department store Pollux. Open long after the store closes it has excellent food and great views of the city as the sun goes down! We loved the quirky decor in the apartment and vintage pieces mixed with modern, good WiFi, good aircon, washing machine hidden in the secret room behind a cupboard, very quiet bedrooms with great shutters to keep the light out. The only potential problems if you are less mobile are the fact that the apartment is the first floor with no lift and half way up a narrow cobbled street that is on a hill. Overall great!
