Modern Central Apartment in Historic Lisbon (Chiado)

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!

  This was such an amazing apartment. All of the windows that overlook the square are great, they open up so that you almost feel like you are outside. Lisbon was a lot of fun, very beautiful, very friendly people and when I visit again, I will most definitely stay at this apartment again.

  Stayed here for our honeymoon and couldn't be happier; the perfect location enabled us to walk everywhere from here (the hills are steep!). Public transportation is right outside the window so no need to walk if you're not interested. Neighborhood has great restaurants, nightlife, and was a central touchpoint throughout our trip. The square outside of the window is great for drinking coffee in the morning or relaxing with drinks at night. We landed at 7am and had no problems getting to the apartment for the early check-in- Silvia was great! Guided us through the Lisbon map and near by cafes, and even called a taxi back to the airport the morning we left. Hope to be back soon! So happy we choose this apartment over a hotel.

  I stayed for 3 nights in this beautiful apartment and really enjoyed my stay. Everything was as described on the website, lots of space, clean and a perfect location. You are right at the centre of the nicest area in Lisbon, within walking distance of shopping, restaurants and bars. It felt very safe in this neighbourhood. I will definitely return again and have already recommended it to friends.

  The one bedroom apartment was very spacious and comfortable. It was just my husband and myself, so we had lots of room to spread out. The furniture and fixtures were modern and well maintained. The location could not be better -- Praca Luis Cameos is in the center of everything. If we had one concern, it was that because the Praca is at the center of everything, it can be noisy on the weekends. The airconditioning (and heating) work well, but it meant that we could not open the windows at night. it was great to have the elevator and to have such a comfortable space after a long day sightseeing. We loved Lisbon and the apartment added a great deal to our visit.

  Paulo, it was a pleasure to meet you and to stay at your property. We appreciated your hospitality and your readiness to meet us, your personal attention to help us to settle in and to answer our questions and the lovely bottle of vinho verde you provided to welcome us. You have a hidden jewel that we would highly recommend to all! Obrigada! What a wonderful way to begin our 12-day adventure through Portugal! We arrived at the Lisbon airport, purchased the Viagem Card and took the brand new Metro line to the Chiado area with ease instead of paying for a taxi. When we ascended from the Metro station in the Chiado area, the apartment was about one block away...so convenient! The apartment was very lovely, CLEAN, modern, well-equipped, beautifully decorated and located in the BEST part of Lisbon! To anyone contemplating a visit, this is the REAL deal...the photos absolutely reflect the value of a stay here! The apartment is located on a charming, lively, quaint square (Praca Luis Camoes) convenient to a post office, pharmacy, coffee shop, bakery, bank, a pub, many upscale shops and even a shopping mall (Armazens Do Chiado)! Just around the corner along Rua do Norte, are many restaurant choices, wine bars, etc. Our favorite was a restaurant called Adega Machado serving up fabulous Portuguese cuisine (don't miss the caldo verde & bacalhau) and a spectacular Fado show! While strolling the many side streets, we found a beautiful shop called Sant'Anna on Rua Do Alecrim specializing in Portuguese ceramics. There are many more hidden surprises! There are many transportation options in and around Lisbon to make sightseeing easy. Some worthy sightseeing options not to miss would be going to Sintra to visit the Pena Palace & the Mouro Castelo, spending a day in Belem to visit the National Coach Museum, Monastery of Jeronimos, the Monument to the Discoveries & Belem Tower, visiting the Gulbenkian Museum and a day trip to Fatima. In short, we LOVED our time in Lisboa...welcoming people, wonderful architecture, culture, history, food, Fado, and picturesque settings! To all of you who follow us..."Boa Viagem!!"

  The apartment was as described. Good location with walking distance to the neighborhoods. Great restaurants just a few blocks away at most. Interesting to look over the square and people-watch at night. Owners very responsive and helpful.. I would definitely recommend this apartment.

  My husband my two kids (22 year old daughter and 17 year old son) and myself had a wonderful stay in this Chiado property. The apartment was spacious and close to all activities and restaurants. Very easy to get to the beach where my kids wanted to go. Sylvia and her colleague ( i am sorry, but I can't remember her name) were great in letting us checking in early and telling us where to go and what to do in Lisbon, They also reserved a taxi to take us to the aiport on our departure date. Overall, we all really enjoyed theri hospitality and would highly recommend this apartment.

  The apartment has a fantastic view overlooking Luis Camoes Square which is right on Tram 28 and the apartment is easy walking distance to the Metro, Praca Comerida, Elevator, Rossio Square. The apartment is quiet even though it is right on the square. There are grocery stores, coffee shops, ATMs, and restaurant within a block or two of the apartment. Tram 28 is the most famous tram in town and takes you up to the Castle St. George for great views of the city. A short walk takes you to a riverfront train station where you can take the train or tram to Belem and the great museums. Downstairs there is a small café named O Trevo where you can get a good pork sandwich with optional mustard for less than 2 Euros. The apartment has a lot of natural light and feels larger than even the photos suggest. The living room is good size with two sofas that are also pullout beds. Our 10 and 12 year old children slept on the sofas. Down a hallway is the kitchen, which had everything we needed with a small dining table. Also in the kitchen is the washing machine. Next to the kitchen is the bedroom and bathroom. The bathroom had a double sink and nice shower with plenty of hot water and good pressure. The bedroom had a comfortable bed but not a lot of closet space. There was storage space in the hallway, though. Wifi was strong throughout the apartment. There is a lift that takes you up to the 3rd floor apartment. We were there in late May when the temperature was around 75 deg and only needed to run the AC a little bit. Paulo and Silvia were very responsive to all of my emails before and during the trip. The night before we left, at 9:30pm, the airline changed our flight to 6am but they were able to change our taxi pickup to accommodate our last minute change. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Lisbon.

  Stayed in the apartment for 8 days. It was home away from home. Fully equipped kitchen + wifi + cable TV + safety deposit box. After sightseeing and going on day trips, it was refreshing to go back to the apartment. It is centrally located...can get to/from the subway in 3-5 minutes. Train 28, which is the best way to see the city IMO, stops right in front of the building. Rossio Station and Cais do Sodre train stations are 10 mins away. Dragging the kids out for dinner after a long day was not a challenge as there are numerous, good quality restaurants nearby. Would not hesitate to stay again. Friday and Saturday crowds were not too much of an issue....living room was a great place to people-watch.

  This apartment was great--perfect location for exploring the city plus near public transportion to travel to nearby small towns as Sintra, Cascais, and Porto Brandeo. It was also spacious and the inside window shutters closed out noise and early sunlight but when open it was bright and right on the square. There were also good restaurants in walking distance. The property was clean and well maintained with a firm confortable mattress. We would recommend this property.
