Communication before our stay was excellent to ensure we were met on arrival. Mafalda messaged us upon landing at the airport and guided us to the apartment on the metro. Check in was quick, we were early so left our luggage and went for an amazing lunch to return a short while later and all of our luggage had been brought to the apartment.
Inside, the apartment was bright and airy with modern fittings, really clean and spacious. Fantastic view over Baixa Chiado where you can watch the musicians perform but with the windows closed, it’s surprisingly quiet. Bedrooms were really quiet and comfortable and the bathrooms had great showers, plenty of towels and really clean. We had a fantastic stay, couldn’t fault the apartment (2 adults, 11y and 14y old) and the location was amazing for sightseeing and coming back before going back out. The Lisboa card is a must, we purchased ours in advance and collected at the airport but if it’s a 1,2 or 3 day pass it’s activated from midnight that day whereas a 24,48 or 72 h pass might provide better value if first using late in the day.
Public transport is excellent, no need for taxis. The tram routes are a little disrupted due to construction so getting on the 12 which is less busy is the same route as the very busy 28 at the moment.
We will be back to these apartments and Lisbon!
