Upon arrival, we were received in front of the building by one of Rui’s friends. The apartment is on the third floor and there are no elevators, he helped us bring our luggage up to the apartment and then explained how everything worked and gave us recommendations on what to do in the city. Later on, we met Rui and another one of his friends and they both were very nice and also gave us recommendations on the city and Portugal.
The apartment is very well located and in a short walk you are in all main areas in the city. There are 2 metro stations nearby (Rossio & Baixa Chiado) and a supermarket (Pingu Doce) right up the street. It has everything you need for your stay, very spacious and comfortable. The only negatives are that the shower is very small and that the apartment doesn’t have AC. This time of the year it wasn’t an issue, but it may be during the summer.
Enjoy Lisbon! :)
