Ana's apartment is located very near where you access the Ascensor da Bica, you'd never know that just a few meters away you can be transported to a different place and time. The Baroque styled apartment is very thoughtfully designed. It also doesn't take very long to notice the very high quality of the furniture, fixtures and thankfully the windows.
Bica is a lively area, with many restaurants, some bars and a lot of street life. I have stayed in this area on many trips to Lisbon, but it can be loud at times. At Ana's apartment, we never had any problems with noise. The soundproof windows do an excellent job at keeping the nice and quiet.
The beds were very comfortable and there is air conditioning if needed.
The main bathroom has a very spacious shower and there is also an additional WC.
Ana was great with communication and very accommodating with our check-in and check-out time. We met both her and her husband and they were both very thoughtful and kind.
I can highly recommend Ana's apartment. I'm sure I'll be back.
*The only caveat and this is for all of Bica. If you have very heavy baggage or struggle on steep hills, you might want to stay in a different district. *
