We loved our stay at "Varanda sobre o Tejo" . The view of the river from the spacious balcony deck was life altering in a good way. Every hour, every day was different we felt we living literally in the beating heart of Lisbon. The location was excellent for walking to Barrio Alto, Chiado and Baxia and even Alfama. It is a lively part of town, the sound of which does go on all night until about 3am, however the soundproofing is excellent and with windows closed is was very quiet inside. We appreciated the elevator as the unit is on the 5th floor.
