We had an incredible 2 month stay in Rita’s apartment, it became home!! The location in Principe Real, close to the Jardim/Garden, is ideal with public transport (bus, tram and metro) close by. It also borders the Bairro Alto district, but far enough away that it remains quiet in the evenings. The apartment is very spacious and bright featuring high ceiling in the main living area with bedrooms and a bathroom located on the second floor. The view of Lisbon all the way to the river from the main bedroom is magnificent. You’re placed a short distance from a great selection of cafes and restaurants or you can choose to shop at the small markets throughout the area and cook at home. There was a beautiful organic farmers market at the garden every Saturday morning. The kitchen has traditional features which added to the apartment’s charm and we found we had everything we needed. Rita is a kind, warm and gracious host - she made our stay all the more memorable. Communication was excellent throughout and Rita met us at the apartment upon check in to ensure we had everything we needed. We can’t wait to come back to this apartment again and highly recommend it! If you have mobility issues please note the apartment is on the second floor with no elevator. Wifi connection was fast and a great selection of cable tv channels were available (tv is newer than the images online). Thank you Rita for hosting us in your beautiful space!
