We would highly recommend this comfortable and stylish apartment. We enjoyed cooking a meal in the well-equipped kitchen, as well as eating out in one of the recommended local Portuguese restaurants.
The neighbourhood is very local. There wasn’t a tourist in sight until we took a 15-minute walk down the hill to Belém, which is close to the mouth of the river and well worth exploring. It has several parks and a great riverside walk with plenty of attractions and restaurants and bars. And there is the famous Pasteis de Belém bakery/cafe, home of the original and best Portuguese tart.
We would recommend staying in this area as it is close to downtown Lisbon by bus and there is much less hustle and bustle.
The supermarket close to Carlos’ apartment has a fantastic selection of cheese, meat, fish and fruit as well as readymade meals.
