I arrived late but Diogo welcomed me and showed me around the apartment and how everything worked. He had made a map to point out a lot of things in the neighbourhood, shops, restaurants, bus stops. He also helped me book a taxi to the airport for my return home and he was quick in communication. When I had trouble opening the door he even offered to come by and help. (But I managed on my own after he explained)

There was dishwasher, washing machine, flatscreen TV, microwave, coffee machine, a fan and everything you could ever need. The kitchen was well equipped althought I didn’t find any plates.

The bathroom is small but cosy as well as the kitchen area.
I slept well in the bedroom and enjoyed the view from the little round window.

But as many others have said – the balcony is amazing! I spent more time there then inside to watch the view over the whole city both in day- and night light was so beautiful.

Everything is exactly as the photos describes. The wifi worked really well even out on the balcony.

It is a nice and quiet neighbourhood but also close to more lively surroundings. I preferred the busstops near Amoreiras shopping center rather than Rato. It’s a nice and short walk. On my way home in the evenings I could shop some food and water there or even get a meal. It’s open very late. There is also a small shop on the way to the apartment that closes 11.30 at night. You can also easily buy bus-tickets for 24 hours or more there. It’s cheaper than on the buses and easy to find the shop inside.

The only things that is not so positive was the hard wind on the balcony and the noice from the elevator. Althought I kind of liked that it woke me up in the mornings. Who wants to sleep away the hours in Lisbon?

I also want to recommend the hop-on-hop-off buses. Specially the Cascais Line with the company Grayline. Cascais and Guincho were my favourites.

And one last thing - try opening the door lock from the outside together with Diogo. It was a bit hard to get how it worked but once you got it - it's easy.
