In the HEART of it all!
This flat was a great find. It was perfectly located in the heart of Bairo Alto district just above the best street in the area. The night life was fun and civil on this street. The area felt like a perfect little Portugese town. It was easy to get around to all of the sights in Lisbon, as this flat is very centrally located!
The self check-in was simple and easy to follow, there were no issues. Dora gave great directions. The street is not one for cars, so taxis and Ubers will drop off on the nearest corner, about 15 feet from front door. The flat is located on the 4th floor and you must walk up a narrow-ish stair case. It is wooden and quaint! We used our cell phones to help light our way as we had very heavy backpacks on!
The accommodations were fantastic. It was light and open, we immediately opened the double sets of french doors at the front side of the flat to see and hear the local sounds. We bonus was a beautiful scent of sweet food filled the air!! We love food and were excited that our taste buds were blessed with this wonderful fragrance. It was just enough to make our mouths water.
There are two generously sized bedrooms, and because there were two of us, we only used the one. The best was firm but very comfortable and the pillows were soft and squishy, just how we like them. With the windows and doors open, we got a nice breeze through the flat, and with them closed, you could not hear a bit of the evening sounds from the street.
The bathroom was surprising large! It was perfect for what we needed, and very clean. Even had a hairdryer which I used!
The kitchen was well outfitted with both stove and an oven, as well as a washer. the fridge was well sized to the kitchen and large enough to keep our groceries cool during our stay.
The WIFI was strong and easy to access, which always makes us happy!!
We were extremely happy with our stay and time in Lisbon, Dora's place was perfectly suited!! She was a great host as well!
