This city center modern apartment is set in a recently rebuilt building in old historic Lisbon.
This bright, daylight filled, 5th floor apartment is located on Rua Garrett, one of the most important streets of historic Lisbon, has a privilege situation in the heart of the cultural and historical part of the city (Chiado).
Very close to several museums, operas, theaters and churches. A few minutes walk takes you to the Rossio, in the Baixa, and to the Elevador da Lavra. The other direction, you will reach the Praça do Comércio, which is located in the center of the Portuguese old empire near the river Tejo (Tagus). To go to Sintra or to Óbidos you must catch the train at Entre-Campos train station, which is just a short subway trip from Chiado.
Chiado is considered the most beautiful area of historical Lisbon. It was a place of residence of the Portuguese royalty and of the political and cultural elites. Nearby is the theater S. Luis and the opera D. Carlos.
Close to shops, restaurants, cafes, banks, cash machine, public transportation (subway and electric trams) and 24 hour taxi stands, etc.
A little further up on the left is Camões Square (Praça de Camões), next to Bairro Alto, picturesque but raffish; part of Lisbon's nightlife seems to be concentrated in this quarter, which was frequented to hear the sentimental 'fados' sung in certain restaurants and cafés. Chiado and Bairro Alto are "the" meeting point for locals and tourists, with elegant hotels, old cafés, and the best international fashion shops nearby.
Lisbon Sightseeing - It operates both open-top bus tours and tourist trams. Both run from the Praça do Comércio. Bus trips are the 'Circuito Tejo', which goes out to Belém as well as other parts of the city, or the (Expresso Oriente' which visits the Parque das Nações. The tram does the 'Circuito das Colinas' (Hill Circuit) which embraces the 28 route through Alfama.
It also visits Estrela to the west of the city. Whilst costly, the advantage of the tourist tram is the audio guided tour and the fact that you will get a seat and not have to stand. Also, the historic trams are decked out in 'historic' upholstery and fittings. Trams also operate a Circuito dos Descobrimentos to Belém.
Accommodation comprises one bedroom with a queen size bed, a second room with 2 single beds, living room with dining and sitting areas, two full bathrooms and fully equipped kitchen. The apartment has air-conditioning and central heating in all the rooms. This privileged location offers easy access by foot to the subway (Chiado/Baixa station – 50 m).
We will welcome you with a nice bottle of wine, coffee and tea ready for you and some biscuits.

We called from the taxi as we left the airport and Sylvie was at the door to meet us just as we arrived. The views from the apartment are incredible in all directions, and the accommodations are clean, modern and well-equipped. The location could not be more advantageous. We picked up our breakfast at the bakery across the street every day, and found the best gelato of our trip right around the corner. We would definitely recommend the property to anybody.

It had been highly recommended by friends, and it did not disappoint. A bit of street noise, but that is to be expected when you live in a chic neighborhood of a lively town. And the views alone made me blissfully happy. In addition, the recommendations from Sylvie "our concierge", on local spots, trains and chauffeured cars was all great, and the car service from Filipe was top. Paola, thank you for arranging for it all to come together and serve your guests so well. This is the place to stay in Lisbon.

This is a beautiful apartment in a fantastic location. Paulo was very quick to respond to any of our queries before we travelled to Portugal and Maria was a fountain of information when we arrived at the apartment. We were 4 girls on a well earned long weekend away from work and kids and this place easily accommodated us and all of our stuff! One small thing that would make it perfect would be an additional mirror in the twin bedroom. Try Sacramento restaurant for great cocktails and lovely food, it's literally round the corner, we went twice! Also the train up the coast to the beaches at Caiscaix is highly recommended as is the bus tour round the city and up to Belem.

Location, Location, Location. - most attractions are easily walkable from this central location. The apartment was ideal for our family of four (two teenagers). It had all the amenities to enjoy the city and yet provide a home-type atmosphere. Paulo was extremely helpful and very accommodating answering all our questions about Lisbon. It is an amazing city - a must see for anyone considering to visit Portugal. i would not hesitate to recommend this apartment as an ideal place to stay.

Four of us spent 4 nights at the apartment in May. It was very comfortable for us and in excellent condition - just as the photos show. The views from the windows are wonderful. The biggest plus is the location - it cannot be beat. We were able to walk almost everywhere we wanted to go and used convenient public transportation for areas further away - we used the 7 Colinas pass (which also includes the train to Sintra - a must see). Watch out for pickpockets in Lisbon - especially on the trolleys and trams. We also enjoyed walking to Lisbon's "Eating Lane" north of Rossio - Rua das Portas de Santo Amao. Good seafood cafes and be sure to have the roasted chicken and fries at Bonjardin. Enjoy with a bottle of Vinho Verde ! We had a very friendly welcome to the apartment and an easy departure. We definitely would return here and highly recommend it.

You cannot beat this location in Chiado. The apartment, it's views,and it's appointments are lovely. Be prepared for a lively nighttime atmosphere right outside your window. The staff was very helpful and accommodating when our flight arrived late.

My family (2 adults and 2 teenagers) stayed 4 nights in what we all thought was a perfect apartment - modern, very clean (well maintained), roomy (2 bedrooms and 2 baths) and comfortable, in a fantastic location, and with wonderful views of the castle. The owner (Paulo) and the rental management company were perfect to deal with - they were extremely professional and provided excellent suggestions on the best way to get to different sites, restaurants, and were very proactive and responsive with any concerns or questions we had. With the an excellent choice of tv channels, plus free wifi, we had to constantly coax our kids to leave the apartment. Overall, it was a great choice, and we would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Great apartment, Clean and well maintained with a sophisticated feel. Downsides aircon in single bedroom noisy and noisy construction work over the road. Great view especially of cathedral and Tagus. Eating out near the apartment..recommend cafe No chiada, and bar/restaurant next to the theatre indoors ( turn left at Benneton ). Supermarket at Cais de Sodre station is better than the one in Chiada itself. Have fun, Lisbon is romantic and relaxed with all the central historic sites within walking distance from the apartment.
Owner response:Hello, thanks for your kind words. We will made the necessary arrangements to repairs the A/C unit. Hope the construction over the road will finish soon. Regards, Paulo
