Like much of Lisbon, this apartment is on a hill. If you continue further up the hill and many stairs, you will find the Miradouro de Monte Agudo. Lourenço recommended this spot, and it became one of my favorite places in Lisbon. It is kind of a local’s only overlook. After travelling around Europe and getting trampled by selfie-hunters, this was a very relaxing spot to sip wine and watch the sunset. The apartment is very simple and clean. There is no airconditioning. The bed and bedding are comfortable. Lourenço has compiled a list of his favorite businesses and activities. He also provides guide books to give you ideas of things to do. There is a conveience store across the street. Several grocery stores and a laundry mat are in walking distance. The main road, Almirante Reis, is an immigrant neighborhood and offers a wide selection of cheap, international cuisine. There are also some fantastic seafood restaurants on that street.
I stayed for two weeks and Lourenço checked in on me a few times, but it was always over messenger and never, ever, intrusive. Check-in was quick and efficient. All in all, I had a good stay in a relaxing apartment.
