The three of us stayed 5 nights here: the apartment was a lovely combination of historic details with modern conveniences, and a wonderful courtyard balcony. The kitchen is small, but was adequate for our basic breakfast needs. The host, Joao, was very friendly, making sure to meet us and say goodbye. The area is excellent: lots of historic streets, shops, restaurants, and enough off the beaten path that it was quiet. The only issue I could see was that in the second bedroom, the single beds are quite narrow, so they might not suit all guests. Overall the apartment is a gem: clean, bright, and very inviting.

Accueil chaleureux et appartement magnifique/calme
L'appartement est identique à la description sur le site. Il est calme, bien situé, ensoleillé et agréable. Quel plaisir de préparer ses visites de la journée, de prendre son petit déjeuner, siroter un verre... assis sur le balcon au soleil! La literie est neuve et confortable. L'accueil du propriétaire est à l'image de l'appartement et de Lisbonne: chaleureuse, humaine, souriante, disponible...
Bref! C'est une adresse à conseiller et à conserver.
