I have to tell you that I have rented several apartments over the last few years in different European cities and I would find it difficult to find one as lovely as this place for such a terrific value. The location is terrific- right in the Barrio Alto district. There is a bakery right across the street, a supermarket is a five minute walk, 28E tram stop is close by and there were also some fantastic restaurants within very close proximity.

The apartment itself is on the second floor of the building. It’s a little tight on the walk up and it would not be handicap accessible.

The door to the apartment opens into the living room/tv room. A good sized couch, two chairs and four huge windows give the room tons of beautiful light.

You follow the French doors into the dining area with a medium sized round table complete with five chairs.

The bedroom was small but in Europe a bedroom is for sleeping and some ‘social interaction’ and that’s about it. The bed was queen sized by American standards and there were four pillows. The number of pillows always matters to me. I love it when I have four.

The bathroom is a small European bathroom with a small tub and mobile shower head. It was clean and everything was very efficient.

The kitchen was efficient as well. There were plenty of necessities, silverware, dishes, bowls, etc as well as plenty of cooking equipment. I made breakfast several times and enjoyed the heck out of it.

Overall I would give this apartment a 10/10. The highlights were the location, cleanliness, efficiency, comfort level and the ease of communicating with Ana and Helena who were the hosts.

If you come to Lisbon on a solo trip or as a couple, this apartment is perfect!!!!! You won’t find a more lovely apartment at this type of rate anywhere in this city. BOOK IT!!!!!
