Silvia's flat was the perfect place to stay in Lisbon! It has been recently renovated, with a modern kitchen and bathroom - but you are also surrounded with history, including the beautiful, hand-painted ceramic tiles that decorate every room. The apartment is on the 5th (U.S.) floor or 4th (European) floor, which means you need to be prepared to climb some stairs, but it is worth it for the amazing light and gorgeous views over the rooftops of Lisbon. The neighborhood is central and convenient, close to a metro stop and the 28 tram. Restaurants like the landmark Cafe Brasileira and the trendy and delicious collection of Chef José Avillez are minutes away. Silvia was a wonderful host, and left us a bottle of wine and a bowl full of fresh fruit. We would love to return and stay longer!
