If you are looking to experience Lisbon but want a quiet retreat from the daily tourist scene then this is a perfect place! The apartment is close to everything but just far enough out of the way to escape the noise. It's a very quiet pocket with lovely local spots for amenities. Catarina and Antonio offered a great booklet of information to help get you oriented with the city. My husband and I were there for a week, explored every section of Lisbon and felt like we could walk to all destinations. We even looked forward to the climb up the hill to complete our day/night out! While that might not be for everyone, we certainly found the close proximity convenient.
After a very long travel day the easy breezy check in and overall comfort of the apartment was welcomed. The king bed is a huge bonus for any apartment in Europe and was very comfortable. The apartment has the ability to bring in a lot of light but has the black out shutters to enjoy sleeping in! We loved the little touches like the old school coffee press, tea kettle, plenty of kitchen items and very functional storage and wardrobe space. The building felt very secure which was great too.
Communication throughout the booking process and during our stay was perfect. I could not have asked for a better host and apartment. We always use the lines "travel the world" and "travel often" and Catarina and Antonio's place is definitely one we will return to should we find ourselves back in Lisbon.
