My wife and I spent 3 nights in Lisbon in early April, our first visit to this lovely city. We linked up with our older son Luke who had been before, and as our stay was to be brief, we hit the ground running. We had also been in regular contact with Pedro before we arrived, he was extremely helpful in responding to all our queries including our request for the best place to park our car.
The apartment was perfect. It is located in the very pleasant area of Baixa-Chiado and we discovered many sights, bars and restaurants within easy walking distance; highlights included the atmosphere in the nearby Praca Luis de Camoes on a late sunny afternoon, and an excellent meal in the Estrela da Bica restaurant. There was also live music at the top of the next street beside the apartment one early evening.
The ascent to the apartment is via a series of lovely old wooden stairs, we enjoyed our journeys up and down each day. There are wonderful views of the city and river from a number of windows, and also plenty of space to move about with little nooks for relaxation. It also features lovely little touches round the apartment ranging from a small pile of old suitcases to lots of old books, also a number of very useful guides to Lisbon. The apartment was very well equipped with all necessities for preparing and eating food, all enhanced by a complimentary bottle of local red wine - much appreciated.
We all found the apartment to be comfortable and relaxing, a perfect location at the end of a busy day. We have all resolved to return to Lisbon again and will book here without hesitation. On leaving, Pedro drew a map for us to help locate the bridge for our drive south, just one of the many personal contributions which made our stay so special.
