We were welcomed by Anabela from the Lisbon concierge who was very welcoming and helpful. She gave us the tour of the apartment and explained everything that she could. A bottle of wine and some gifts from Portugal given were also a pleasant surprise.

However, the directions were not very specific and we were confused as to the location upon our arrival. To future guests, it's in the new building near Hotel Mundial at the Martim Moniz square, easily accessible via the Metro.

That aside, the apartment is at a FANTASTIC location, central to just about everything! The Martim Moniz metro is a mere 5 minutes walk. Downton, markets, shops and the river are all within walking distance. We even get to see the Sao Jorge castle from our window.

The apartment is also new, clean, spacious and comfortable. This apartment would be perfect for a family with kids as the apartment provides a baby cot, baby bath tub and even a doll house and toys for the kids to occupy themselves with.

The sofa bed can also be opened up to be quite large and spacious. The kitchen is well equipped with basic cooking materials available for the guests.

The apartment is also very secured with several security measures in place. The parking space is a blessing considering how difficult it is to find parking in Lisbon, especially at such a central location!

The downside to the apartment however is that since there is an open area right beside it, people tend to hang out by the stairs which can be quite loud and rowdy, especially at night. There is also only one bathroom available, which might be a problem for bigger families.

Other than that, it was a great apartment and we would definitely recommend it for those who wish to stay in the central of Lisbon!
