This is a lovely immaculate little apartment in a great location. We had very clear instructions and still struggled to find it! Maps of the area are hopeless due to all the charming side alleys and cobbled pathways. That said, once we'd got our bearings it was easy to locate and is in a brilliant location.
Rita was a great host giving us a detailed rundown of things to do and highlights and a welcoming bottle of local wine.
Lisbon itself....eclectic, charming, vibrant, culture-packed, safe and dusty! We used metro to get to apt,50c buys you a card and then each journey is €1.40. Trams are very special, the 28 stop is a 10 minute walk worth getting there early at the first stop as we waited almost an hour mid morning! Well worth it though!
Highlights...amazing views, seafood at Ramiro's huge very busy restaurant be prepared to wait with drink in hand it's well worth it! Cafe kiosks in parks and garden and street corners watching the world go by (wine and beer €3.50!).
Belem has fantastic views and architecture and custard tart cafe lovely! Tram out and back was v busy, use same ticket as metro topped up before boarding.
Last but not least...Time Out Market unbelievable if you're foodie really breathtaking!
Dusty... much of Lisbon is being regenerated and updated there is the noise and mess this entails everywhere but it certainly didn't spoil it. Brilliant apartment fantastic hosts and a great short break location! Can't wait to return!
