We were met by Maria who is very bubbly and informative. She spent a long while with us showing us places of interest with her own map.
The apartment is on the top floor with loft windows which open onto the city. The views are breathtaking! The apartment is cosy, modern and clean. There is a small tv with lots of channels ( including English speaking ones.) The bed was comfy, plenty of storage and the bathroom was a good size.
The apartment is situated in the Chiado area. There’s a very small supermarket opposite although there is a better one near the patisserie Maria recommended to us. It’s quiet at night so we got a good sleep. The Rossio train station is a little walk down the stairs near apt. Our favourite restaurant was A Primavera do Jeronimo ( Travessa da Espera 34.) it was like sitting in your grandmothers house.
We caught the 28 tram a few times as did many other tourists!
We did a day trip to Sintra on the train - a must if you have the time!!
* my only negative was the apartment staircase. They were VERY steep and there were a LOT of stairs. I was breathless a few times ( and it was challenging with our large suitcases.)
Apart from that - thank you Maria!!!
