I stayed at Isabel's apartment for two weeks in May, as I was attending as Press at the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest at the Altice Arena.
Situated just a 15 minute walk from the venue, and the same from Oriente station and shopping centre, Isabel's apartment is also superbly convenient for the Metro, just one stop south from Oriente and directly on the red line Metro that serves the airport. In fact it is further from the station entrance to the actual platforms than it is from the front door of Isabel's apartment block to the station entrance!
I walked to the venue most days, because, if you are used to subways in NY or the Underground in London, you'll find the 8 to 10 minute service intervals on the Lisbon Metro much less than youre used to , so if you catch it wrong and have to wait, it was quicker for me to walk as I was only going one stop each morning. If you are exploring, then the Metro can take you downtown too of course, sometimes with a change depending on your destination, inside 30 minutes.
Isabel's apartment is spacious and with all the facilities I needed, including a washing machine, handy to reduce packing on a longer trip, and a bonus is that you don't face a mountain of laundry when you get home again! Though not in the current pictures, the kitchen is also equipped with a Combi-Microwave oven too and there is lots of storage space. The apartment was spotlessly clean and all communications were handled efficiently in advance of my stay. On arrival day, Isabel's husband did the handover. The Wifi was great too
Ideally located, the apartment for me was a haven of calm after the Eurovision madness! Highly recommended.
