This freshly renovated, contemporary apartment in a vintage building is perfectly located on Rua Augusta ( a major street and pedestrian mall in Lisbon) with a nice balcony overlooking the active pedestrian/shopping/entertainment space below and offering a stunning view of the Arch to the west. When you open the windows, you're a part of the exciting street scene, but when the windows are closed the space is perfectly quiet. The sitting room is cozy, very nice for 2-3 people, with comfortable seating. The kitchen has everything you need, with new appliances, cooking utensils and placeware. The bathrooms are really well designed and have plenty of hot water with good pressure. And, the beds are excellent -- comfortable (medium soft and supportive) with good quality linens.
The apartment is on the fifth floor, but no worries, there's a great lift after just a few stairs.
The host communicated quickly was very accommodating for a last-minute rental. Lilliana earned her five stars! We'd love to stay there again!
