This is called “O Jardim” for a reason; the garden is lovely and should be where you spend most of the time, especially in warmer months. Despite being quite central, because the apartment is off the main road, it is quiet and peaceful (no road noise).
The place is relaxed, almost ‘rustic’ with its open spaces and use of wood. This place would be ideal for a group of friends who can enjoy the garden, start up a barbecue and spend the night outside chatting away. There is no TV but, that’s part of the charm of this place, you should be in the garden or exploring Lisbon, not watching the box.
Jean- Luc was a caring and welcoming host. Despite leaving on holiday the day we arrived, he made extra effort to wait and greet us personally - nice touch. Also, he took time out whilst travelling to send us information about what to do around town. There was also a nice bottle of port waiting on the table for us. All of this made us feel very “at home”.
Great place, great host, great city. What more can you ask for.
