We spent a month in this elegant and charming apartment and quite certain that we will be talking about our experience here for years to come. But first about the hosts: Magda and Diogo are two good hearted souls, who love what they do and do everything with much flair and style. Busy as they were, they welcomed us into the apartment as if nothing in the world were more important and took time explaining where everything was and also equipped us with all sorts of information we needed to plan our time wisely in Lisbon. They were more than accommodating and let us check-in early before the check-in time. Diogo, did not even hesitate to help us with our heavy suitcases and we didn’t have to ask. Always available and quick to respond, even though at times, we called late, they still answered.

If you haven’t already guessed, it is on a hilltop (hilltops are a charm of Lisbon). So if you have mobility issues, you may wish to re-evaluate if this would work for you. Having said that, there are two elevators that make it very convenient to go up and down the hill. You still have to walk a little ways to get to the apartment. We didn’t mind because we love walking and it gave us an opportunity to workout all the pastel de natas, queijadas de Sintra and the bread and the cheese we were gobbling. If walking is not your thing, buses are another option, and taxis are very economical and easy to get. Although the tourist buzz fades out in the evening, remember that the building is old and sound insulation is not perfect and if you are a light sleeper this maybe a point of consideration for you.
