The apartment is just as gorgeous in person at it looks in the photos - really big, beautiful, light space - which has been very lovingly restored and stylishly decorated with great attention to detail. It was a great place to come 'home' to for a rest in the afternoon before heading out again in the evening. The kitchen is also very well equipped - a real treat to be able to buy food in the market and prepare our own breakfast, and even an evening meal, here.

We spent a perfect 3 nights at the apartment and can't wait to come back.

Both our hosts (Joana and Marta) were very friendly and welcoming and gave us some great 'locals' recommendations for things to do and see. Joana was in touch in advance via email and text (including giving us helpful tips on how to avoid overpayiong for taxis from the airport!). She replied promptly to emails and text and was very flexible with what time we could check in and out - because our flight home was in the evening we were very grateful for the very kind (and generous!) extension to let us leave our things in the apartment until the evening, which meant we would really enjoy our last afternoon with no stress - such a luxury. Thank you both!

The apartment is very well situated - we explored the whole city on foot (except for one trip on the 28 tram to see the castle and the flea market).

Because the apartment is on the top two floors of the building it has absolutely spectacular views - of the river and the Christo from one side, and of the Barrio Alto and the Adamastor statue / Mirador Sta Catarina from the other side. Really it couldn't be in a better location to see the whole city from your windows! What's more - this means it's very nice and quiet in the apartment at night, which together with the very comfortable beds makes for a great nights rest!

This was our first visit to Lisbon, and staying here really made us feel very much at home in this wonderful city almost instantly! We are hoping to visit again and would LOVE to stay in this wonderful apartment again.

Thank you to both our wonderful hosts! We can't wait to come again!
