This is the PERFECT flat for a single person coming to Lisbon, especially if you are working in the city for a few weeks. The Flat is located in the District of Intendente, which is a short 10 minute walk from Rossio/center of Lisbon. You can get everywhere by foot, however, the Metro is two minutes around the corner if you need to take it (say to the airport or somewhere a bit further away). The Flat is situated in a quiet street just up from Lago de Intendente and is very peaceful, with the mellow sounds of the neighborhood buzz.
The Room is HUGE! The bed is extremely comfortable and I often found I didn't want to get out of it in the morning. It is a single bed, which was nice as it wasn't taking up all the space in the room and it made the space feel even bigger. One large wardrobe and a side cabinet to put folded clothes and your toiletries. A wonderfully large desk situated under the window so you have a comfortable, designated work space.
There is also a balcony which was really wonderful to sit and look out onto. I really enjoyed sitting in the rocking chair in the evening, reading, and having the hum of Intendente in the background.
WIFI is excellent, so no worry there.
The kitchen is fully equipped for all your needs (there is plenty of room for you to store whatever you buy). The Kitchen is definitely a gathering space in this flat, and I recommend hanging out in there when you can as you will get to know Mariana, her son David, and her wonderful flatmate, Valentina. I had the privilege of sharing several meals with everyone, and meeting many of their friends as well. It was an awesome experience for me and a great way to experience more of Lisbon/Portuguese culture.
There is a full bathroom with tub/shower, toilet, etc. as well as a second WC, so you never have to worry about waiting to use the loo.
This is a superb flat and a gem on AirBnB! I HIGHLY recommend Mariana's flat to anyone looking for the ideal place to hang your hat, meet really great people, and have a wonderful experience. I will definitely be returning to Mariana's as soon as I get a job here again!
