My partner and I stayed for a weekend and the location could not have been better. The amount of great restaurants/cafes/bars that were within walking distance was perfect for our trip, and the ability to take a bus/Uber or metro to anywhere further away was possible everywhere.
Only con would be the noise at night (to be expected in that area), but we had plans to stay somewhere quieter for the remainder of our stay anyways. *we ended up staying at another Airbnb about 5 minutes away which had a larger space and a kitchen we could cook in, but we STILL felt really drawn to this apartment as we’d always pass by on our way to the other spot*
We didn’t hang out much in the apartment, so the tiny space wasn’t a big deal (we are both around 6’ tall), nor did we use the kitchen as our plans were to eat and drink our way through the weekend. The apartment is basic but has everything you’d need. The windows opening out to the back courtyard was particularly pleasant.
Charming park at the bottom of the street (Jardim Fialho de Almeida) that is wonderful and lively at any time of the day.
Small grocery store steps away from the entrance, another about 2 minutes further away. Organic market every Saturday nearby at Principe Real Park.
Lots of terraced restaurants surrounding the small park, as well as a wonderful natural wine shop — It’s so tiny and cramped but worth sitting and chatting with the knowledgeable owners who run it. In the likely event it’s full, they let you order a glass or bottle and sip out on the street or in the park which is a great experience in itself.
Bakery & brunch spot Marquise where we drank and ate a pastry nearly every morning.
All around a wonderful place to stay given the amenities surrounding it. If you’re new to Lisbon or looking to check out more of the touristic spots I wouldn’t suggest. We are both rather fit, but the area is a good hike and a bit from the main drags… but in my opinion well worth it to be in such a perfect pocket of the city.
