Magical little apartment in the heart of Chiado. Very central so great for exploring the city if you're new to Lisbon. The place oozes with quirky charm and character, like its owner - Maria is an engaging and accommodating host. The Nespresso machine is a great touch and there is a fabulous little cafe across the road for takeaway pastries in the morning. Also, don't miss the pasteis de nata at Manteigaria, down the street towards the square, as it's one of the best in town. The Time Out Food Market, 10min walk towards the water, is also unbeatable value and a good way to sample dishes from many of Lisbon's top chefs and some great Portuguese wines. The restored vintage 28E tram passes right by the apartment and you can take it around the city for some nostalgic and wonderfully easy sightseeing. Please note, the location is stone's throw from the Bairro-Alto's many bars and restaurants, which can be a bonus for some, but does make it quite noisy on weekend nights, so if you're a light sleeper be sure to pack some ear-plugs. Having said that, overall we enjoyed our stay at this cosy little apartment very much.
