This city centre modern apartment is set in a recently rebuilt building in old historic Lisbon. This bright, daylight-filled, third floor apartment is located in Luis de Camões Square. This is one of the most important squares dedicated to the Portuguese Prince of the poetry, with the statue in the centre which was erected in 1867 and has a privilege situation in the heart of the cultural and historical part of the city (Bairro Alto and Chiado).
Very close to several museums, operas, theaters, and churches. Located in front of the luxurious, five-star Bairro Alto Hotel. A 5 minute walk takes you to the Rossio, in the Baixa, and to the Elevador da Lavra. On the other direction you will reach the Praça do Comércio, where has located the centre 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.
Close to shops, restaurants, cafes, banks, cash machine, public transportation (subway and electric trams) and 24 hour taxi stands, etc.
Accommodation comprises one bedroom with a double bed, living room with dining and sitting areas, full bathroom, 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 (Baixa/Chiado station 50 meters).
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 are located the theatre S. Luis and the opera D. Carlos.
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.
We will welcome you with a nice bottle of wine, coffee and tea ready for you and some biscuits.

Great Stay - modern apartment in Lisbon!
VRBO Bear stayed here - 12/08/2011
This apartment was a wonderful place to stay. With its central location I was right in the heart of Lisbon. Everything you could need is all within walking distance, and if you don’t feel like walking, there are plenty of forms of transportation right at your doorstep. The apartment has all the amenities you could need on a trip, way better than staying at a hotel. Paulo was great. He waited for me patiently to arrive. and gave me details about the apartment, its features and even left a contact number if any question or issues arose. With the city so beautiful and so much to see, it was nice to come back to such a comfortable place to relax and sleep at the end of the day. It was hard to leave! I wish I could stayed longer.
Thanks for everything Paulo. I hope to come back to Lisbon again soon and enjoy your beautiful apartment again!

The apartment location in Praca Luis de Camoes was a very central location in Lisboa. Staying in the Chiado area was just perfect. The apartment had all the amenities that we needed. The size was perfect for two people. Would highly recommend renting this apartment.

I stayed at this apartment in Chiado with my 2 college aged kids. The location is a perfect launching point for getting anywhere. There is lively excitement in the plaza in the evening and there are many shops and restaurants nearby. We were greeted immediately and felt very comfortable and safe. Taxis are available at the corner and the train is within walking distance. The apartment is very clean and cozy. I would absolutely stay here again.

An absolutely fantastic apartment-it's even better in real life than the photos! Huge,clean and in the best location for seeing all of Lisbon! Has a very secure entry and is quiet! Right next to a subway station and lots of shops,restaurants and bars! The number 28 tram stops right outside which is a great and cheap way to see the city! Great to have a kitchen for making breakfasts and popping back for lunch after a morning in the city! I have no idea why anyone would ever want to stay in a hotel again after staying in an apartment like this!

We are just ending a 6 night stay and have been so impressed. From the first contact with Paulo for the booking until our arrival and Sylvia's assistance, everything has gone smoothly. The apartment is in the best possible location-right near a trolley stop and the metro but it is also so easy to walk to all of the major sights downtown. The apartment is clean and well furnished. Although right on the square it was quiet at night with the windows closed and the A/C on. We really appreciated the A/C since it was hot in Lisbon while we were here. Great restaurants close by and a little market for juice, bread, etc. I can recommend very highly!

This apartment is delightful. It's bright and spacious, well appointed, and perfectly situated for exploring Lisbon. We were received graciously on arrival and given a detailed tour of the premises, which were spotless. Our host welcomed us with a lovely bottle of wine and lot of information about what to do and see in the city. The apartment is located in the center of Lisbon, close to shopping, restaurants, and public transportation. We highly recommend this property for your stay in Lisbon. You will not be disappointed.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié cet appartement idéalement situé sur la très belle place Luis de Camoes, dans le quartier du Chiado, à proximité du métro, de la Praça do Comércio et de la gare Cais do Sodré (où un train relie très régulièrement Lisbonne aux plages de Cascai et d'Estoril en 30 minutes). Au 3ème étage d'un immeuble résidentiel très bien entretenu, l'appartement de belle surface, est très clair, confortable, très bien équipé. Le ménage est irréprochable. Nous remercions José pour son accueil et Paulo pour sa disponibilité et sa réactivité dans tous les échanges et pour avoir bien voulu déposer le lendemain de notre arrivée une cafetière électrique. Belle expérience de location dans une ville vivante, colorée et ensoleillée.

Can't Wait to Stay Here Again

Selfishly I hate to let the word get out on this wonderful find because I’m afraid it won’t be available next time we want to go to Lisbon! From the first e-mail enquiry we sent to Paulo until the day we left Lisbon, this was one of the best apartment rental experiences we’ve ever had! All questions were answered promptly and thoroughly. When we landed in Lisbon, we called the number provided by Paulo. Miguel answered and met us at the apartment. Unfortunately, due to a transportation strike, it took us 45 minutes to get there via cab and Miguel was patiently waiting. He told us everything we needed to know about the apartment and was willing to stay and answer questions as long as we wanted. He gave us a number to call 24-hours a day for anything that we might need. We called the day before we left and his co-worker arranged for a taxi to the airport….which arrived right on time. The apartment is in a perfect, safe location. I enjoy getting out and taking long walks thru different neighborhoods so this was great. Tram 28 is just out side the front door. Metro is a 2-minute walk. Although the down escalators were never working and coming back up there are about 50 steps so this would have been hard to manage with baggage. We made good use of the Bica Elevator, Santa Justa Elevator and also the escalators in the Armazens do Chiado Mall at the end of Rua Garrett. It was so much fun to be on Praca Luis de Camoes with all the excitement day and night. The noise wasn’t a problem with the windows shut….not sure how it would be in warm weather. Shops and an ATM very close. On our first grocery shopping outing we went to the nearby store. After that we picked up items at the Pingo Doce at the Cais de Sodre station. It was much nicer with a larger selection and not as crowded. Once we even took the Metro to the El Corte Ingles at the top of Parque Eduardo VII. There’s also a nice food court there. The apartment itself is in a modern building with 2 elevators. We never had to wait for an elevator. The apartment is clean, large, bright and equipped with everything you need for a great stay and the pictures and description are truly accurate. The only downside was that adjusting the water was a little different than we are used to. But we learned not to run water anywhere when someone was in the shower. A very minor inconvenience. We just wish all apartment owners operated like Paulo!
Owner response:Thanks for your kind words. Just a comment about the issue with the warm weather, the apartment has air conditioning, so it will not be a problem to have the window shut on the Summer time! Best regards, Paulo

Wonderful Lisbon Home Away From Home

What an absolutely wonderful apartment, centrally located, near all transportation, shops, grocery stores, restaurants, etc. We were in the apartment for a full two weeks, and I can honestly say that there was NOTHING lacking in the way of amenities in the apartment. We did not have a car, so that we relied on public transportation, and that was a breeze, once we tried the Metro, intra-city trains, buses, trams, ferries, etc. It was such a delightful experience that I would definitely, 100% recommend this apartment, with NO reservations!!!! Fantastic!!!

The apartment was centrally located to all conveniences and beautifully furnished. It was so big and comfortable that even the bedroom had a large vestibule in which to store stuff. We no longer had to sleep with suitcases next to the bed as we had the previous weeks in hotels. Noise was not a problem as the double pane windows meant we could enjoy the street theater in the square below at night without having to hear it. I only regret we couldn't stay longer. Perhaps next time.
