Isabel's apartment is the perfect balance of city charm and modern luxury. The location is incredibly convenient, just a block or two away from the train station, the lovely riverfront and the historic Bica Funicular tram that takes you up to higher parts of the city with more places to explore. The charming city streets that surround the building are filled with fantastic cafes and shops. The Time Out market next door to the building is hard to explain. It's like a big indoor outdoor food court with only 5 star chefs, mixed with shops of every kind of food and drink plus an enormous farmers market. The building itself is beautifully restored and feels like an oasis in the heart of the vibrant city. There is secure access and a wide marble staircase or a prompt elevator to whisk you to your beautiful apartment where you will only hear the noise of the city if you choose to open your windows. Fully functioning central air and floor to ceiling velvet drapes make it cool and quiet and sometimes difficult to leave the bed. But there is so much to see and do and Miguel was always so helpful with local suggestions and bookings. My only caution to staying here is that you will want to move in and never leave. Obrigada!
