Sofia’s apartment is beautiful, it’s in the middle of plenty of restaurants and shops. Getting into the building was as simple as punching in a code, once you’re in building there’s an elevator that takes you up to the 4th floor, and then you walk up one flight to her apartment. I was a little thrown off when we arrived on a 96°F (35.6°C) day and there wasn’t an AC, but quickly realized it was not needed. You open the balcony doors and the windows in the bedroom and you get wonderful cross breeze that will rival any AC. The apartment itself is nicely furnished and decorated. There’s a dishwasher and washing machine, and after being away from home for two weeks the washing machine came in pretty handy. We had a few concerns arise during our stay, but I contacted Sofia and she quickly responded and resolve what she could at the moment. For our first time in Lisbon this was a great place to stay in.
