If you're looking for a long-term stay in Lisbon, Helena's place is it! The apartment is spacious, well stocked, and only a 10 minute walk from all the hustle bustle of Chiado. We always felt safe in the neighborhood and were within walking distance of two grocery stores and a number of smaller mini markets. The apartment is also about an 8 minute walk to two different subway stations. The wifi etc all worked fine.
The main highlight for us though, was Helena's hospitality. She gave us many recommendations and was always easy to communicate with.
We would highly recommend Helena's apartment to anyone heading to Lisbon, as we stayed there for 4 weeks and loved getting to know the city from this spot.
Two things to note:
- It's on the fourth floor, so be prepared for stairs
- When we booked initially, the listing said there was no washer or heating, but the place actually does have a washing machine and many portable heaters. Not sure if it's updated yet, but just FYI.
