Our stay at Bica Apartments for the week was absolutely AMAZING!!! We couldn't have asked for a better stay for our first trip to Lisbon thanks to Joao & Carlos! Carlos was so friendly to pick us up from the airport and they had wine & delicious Portuguese pastries for us once we arrived to the apartment. Such a thoughtful touch :)
Location: We LOVED being right in the heart of the city, with so many awesome restaurants & coffee shops right at your doorstep! The apartment is located on one of the most famous streets in Lisbon, with the history and charm of the Bica Tram -- so cool! In the evenings, it becomes a popular spot for people to hang out, but with the windows closed you can barely hear any noise and it didn't effect our sleep at all as the bedrooms are on the opposite side of the house. You couldn't ask for a better location to explore Lisbon!
Apartment: The apartment is decorated so tastefully and it has an amazing view of the Tagus river and the tram right from your balcony, and of course over the rooftops of Lisbon. Simply gorgeous! You also have a river view from the kitchen and the second bedroom which was a nice surprise! The apartment was the perfect size for 3 of us to stay very comfortably. We spent many afternoons lounging in the living room with music and a glass of wine :)
Kitchen: We loved that the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to cook meals during our stay. There's a small grocery store just around the corner of the street which was super convenient.
Wifi: The wifi was super fast and perfect for streaming Netflix, or working remotely if you need too.
Bathroom: The water pressure in the shower was great, and we never had issues with running out of hot water which can sometimes be typical for older buildings.
Bedrooms: The beds were super comfortable and both bedrooms are a large size.
Joao & Carlos even organized a last minute ride for us to Porto and also packed snacks and wine for us for the trip. Doesn't get better than that! Definitely THE place to be in Lisbon!
