I enjoyed this apartment for a longer stay of four months. Lourenço was my host and neighbour. He is an incredible communicator, very fast to respond to messages and emails and help me out with anything I needed or questions I had. He also has a very good guide to the city on his airbnb profile that I made use of during my first weeks here to get acquainted with the city (thanks!)
The flat itself is beautifully and recently renovated. It's compact but everything you need is there. The kitchen is small but well-appointed, and the living room and bed are very comfortable. There is also a balcony where you can absorb some sunlight in the mornings. The apartment gets a lot of natural light inside, and all the fixtures are new.
The neighbourhood, Anjos, is a perfect mix of residential quietness and centrality. It is only a four minute walk to the Anjos metro station. Nearby there are quite a few restaurants and amenities. I especially liked the chicken dumplings (momos) at Snackbar Nepali on Rua de Arroios 59-A, and there is a bakery with nice azulejo tiles for your fix of pastel de nata and coffee at Padaria Saudade, less than a block away. There is also a beautiful lookout onto the city just around the corner, Miradouro de Monte Agudo, which has a café open in the afternoons. It's a lovely place to watch the sun set with a glass of vinho verde. I also frequented a café/bar in Intendente called Casa Independente, with a great vine-covered patio, which is just a 15 minute walk away. Grocery stores and an inexpensive frutaria with fresh Portuguese-grown produce (which I will sorely miss) are nearby. Shopping in Chiado, seeing the sights in Graça or Alfama, or clubbing at Lux are only a short metro ride or 20-25 minute walk away.
This is a perfect place to stay for a short or longer amount of time. Thanks so much Lourenço!!
