Arriving to apartment was easy with metro. Red line from Airport to Alameda and green line towards Cais do Sodre and climbing out at Baixa-Chiado station towards Largo do Chiado - stairs (four long escalators) that come up in front of Cafe Brasileira (easy to find at Google-Maps). From there over the square on your right and five more minutes to walk on small streets - not tough.
On the narrow street there are tens of restaurants. Apartment is on the second floor - nice oak-tree stairs. Apartment is the only one on that floor - another door leads to the kitchen.
Apartment is very much like in the pictures. beautiful apartment in good condition and with nice and practical furniture. The lay-out of the rooms is not easy to understand from the pictures but there is large living room with separate dining area, fully equipped kitchen with bar table for breakfast, one double bedroom (these beds can be separated) with with large bathroom and toilet and second (a bit smaller) double bedroom with extra bed and shower. On the corridor there is another separate toilet.
We selected this apartment from many alternatives because we are two adult couples and we wanted to have two double-bed bedrooms .
The apartment was perfectly clean and everything was working as it should - I'm always worried about showers and hot water ... showers were very good and tap water in Lisbon is OK for drinking.
The bedroom towards the street had some noise at New Year night - that is the case when you live in this area where everything is near you.
Small shop is just 20 meters down the street, nearest proper shop is 200 meters, nearest shopping area is just next to the metro station and public transport works well. We used a lot of buses and trams as then you see where you go even when metro is faster.
Communication when coming to the apartment was smooth. We exchanged text messages with Mathilde a couple of times and Silvia handed us the keys even some hours earlier as agreed as the previous guests had departed early ... we had more time to see the city. Leaving was sad as we could have stayed another week in Lisbon with no problem at all ..... We stayed in Lisbon from 31st of December -16 till 7th of January -17 . Jukka
