Joana’s apartment is exactly what you see in the pictures. It is modern and clean. She was so hospitable and greeted us with a bottle of wine and even had an umbrella available for the rainy weather. She was very accommodating and had a high chair, toddler crib (fit our 90cm toddler) and a baby tub.
This apartment is walkable to Rossio station (20-25 mins) and Baixa Chiado. Along the way on Libredade, you walk through many luxury stores. Be sure to check out Delta Q for a cheap breakfast (3 euros gets you a fresh orange juice, coffee and ham cheese croissant!) and Fabrica de Nata for freshly made pastel de natas!
A few things to note:
- Grocery store (Minipreco) is walking distances (2
min walk from Joana’s house). They don’t sell cold milk - only non-refrigerated shelf milk, but they have fresh orange juice for 1 euro!
- We stayed out til 11:30pm and walked home, but the street going up to Joana’s street wasn’t well very well lit. If I had to do it again, I would call a cab.
- The street going to Joana’s is very narrow and there’s no space for cars to pass, so brace yourself and/or your driver if they have a big van.
