Just try to remember which feelings you experience when coming to the good friends you have not seen for a long time. Hard to say? That's not a problem, because here you will be met exactly in this way. Alex is a really great and warm welcoming host, was very friendly. When I arrived, Alex was waiting for me, acquainted me with his daughter, explained everything I needed about the apartment and gave some valuable inside knowledge of places to go in the neighborhood.
Now about the apartment, you should not believe these photos, they just are not able to show the amazing atmosphere of this beautiful home, it was absolutely impossible to understand without being there. The dawn begins here in the bedroom, it helps to wake up and then the sun slowly migrates into the living room, which gets the sun the whole day. We all have read before the trip about the viewpoints in Lisbon aka miraduro, well, here you will be at the disposal of your own secluded miraduro, and you will only have to stock up on a good port wine and enjoy the perfect view of the directly located ruins of the Carmelite monastery, of a mosaic of brown roofs with get lost among them Sé de Lisboa, of the Castelo de São Jorge and the sparkling Tejo. You should agree that it's nice to start the day with a breakfast on the roof of this little world. No need to say that the apartment is very well maintained and very clean, quiet at night, fully equipped with everything you could need, even with beer in the fridge =). And the location is ideal, if you are going to go to Sintra - Rossio train station is 5 minutes walk away, if it's dinner time - there are tons of restaurants around (I'm fond of Restaurante Adega de Sao Roque on the next street), want to hang out with friends at night - Bairro Alto is two steps away.
I strongly recommend this apartment !
Alex, thank you very much for lending me your flat for these days !! Hope to be back.
