Beautiful stay

Want to feel like you are really living in Lisbon, right near a great supermarket, a few minutes from a central subway station, surrounded by lovingly curated works of art, cooking in a kitchen with plenty of pans and utensils, sleeping in comfy beds, and waking up to plenteous light in the beautiful dining and living room space? Then rent this apartment immediately. Delightfully quirky here and there but overall a real home. Sofia was a dream host, arranging transportation and answering every one of our questions quickly and helpfully.

Nous avons séjourné cinq semaines dans l’appartement très bien décoré, avec de beaux volumes et très agréable à vivre. Nous avions l’impression de se sentir comme chez soi.L’accueil de Sofia était chaleureux et elle était disponible pour répondre à nos attentes.Je recommande l’appartement car il est très bien localisé, calme,bien équipé et extrêmement propre. Nous y retournerons lors de prochains séjours à Lisbonne

A gem in the city

A beautiful apartment centrally located within walking distance to shopping, restaurants, grocery stores. Felt comfortable in the uniquely decorated apt right away- even fresh bouquets of flowers. Public transit super easy and efficient. My family had the best welcome from Sofia- our host. She absolutely went above and beyond helping us arrange transport from airport, parking for our car, and left us goodies from her own garden! We all were blown away by her hospitality and kindness.

Great apartment in great city. Great Hostess (Sofia) who is quick to respond to any question/request and welcomes you as if you are family. The apartment is spacious, clean, and surprisingly quiet for being in down town Lisbon. Will book again in the future.

Space away from the intense tourist area but still livel.

Good location between public galleries and restaurants off the beaten track. Portuguese restaurant Chuchu was a great find nearby. Plus the convenience of the well stocked supermarket at the end of the street. Small drawback was three flights of stairs but put us in good training for the hills of Lisbon .

Stylish Apartment in a convenient neighborhood

This was the perfect place for our stay in Lisbon! Sofia is an amazing host and greeted us at the apartment and walked us through how it all works. She was also available during the stay if we needed anything. The neighborhood is less touristy so you get the true experience of life in Lisbon. It is two blocks to the metro station which allows you to get anywhere in the city. Plenty of restaurant options (go to Alto Minho) and a nice grocery store at the end of the street. The apartment felt larger than we expected with generous bedrooms, large kitchen and nice living area where we spend evenings enjoy local wine after sightseeing. There is also a huge hidden walk in closet in one bedroom to store luggage. We were able to do laundry as well so it helped us pack less clothes for the trip. Definitely the place to stay in Lisbon!

The perfect spot in Lisbon!

I loved this apartment so much, I didn't want to leave it on the last day. The location is fantastic, within walking distance of so many things. And it is so comfortable and beautifully decorated. Plus, we felt so well taken care of by Sofia. The check-in process was so easy, she met me at the apartment and showed me around. And gave me her number in case of any issue or emergency, which there never was because the place is wonderful! I would rent it again and again.

Happy memories we do have

Thank you Sofia for your hospitality. Your mention that this was our home during our stay made us feel very welcomed. We did though go out much more than at home ;-) and enjoyed Lisboa and some of your and your guests restaurant recommendations. The apartment was dreamy. The location was quiet, away from too much trafic.

A homely place

The photos on the internet don’t reflect just how homely this apartment is even after climbing 3 floors! Sofia was a brilliant host. Extremely kind and was full of information that we found very helpful during our two week stay. Sofia told us about an all day personal tour that was available so we did. Boy, are we glad we did. Ricardo, our driver, took us outside Lisbon and we took in a couple of castles and other places of interest. Sofia kindly booked us a superb seafood restaurant by a port. The restaurant gets it fish in the morning, we chose our Sole and then it was on our plate. We had a salad and boiled potatoes as well as two glasses of wine, all for €45 for the both of us! The only caveat would be the apartment lower down seems to specialize in short term rentals but for groups up to 8. On two occasions we spoke to the occupants and reminded them that there were people above them and to keep the noise down and they did. They were also very apologetic. If you book this place the metro is a good way of getting around but more than anything, listen to Sofia and you can’t go wrong.

Wonderful home base!

Our group of 4 came into town to visit Lisbon and enjoy a Taylor Swift concert. We had an unbelievable time in this spectacular city. The apartment is wonderful and Sofia is an excellent host! She has a wonderful tradition of asking guests to fill out suggestion books and those are a treasure trove of Lisbon, Sintra and Porto highlights! Make sure you give yourself some time to review these books. The cafe across the street is delicious and there is a supermarket right up the block that makes it super convenient! Loved our stay and are already planning our trip back!

Exceptional Stylish Apartment

Spacious, comfortable apartment on the third floor of a traditional building. Very well equipped kitchen and with the bonus of a generous welcome pack. Unfortunately we did not meet the host Sofia but communication with her, via WhatsApp was excellent. Instead we met Sonia, who was very charming and friendly and did an excellent job of introducing us to the apartment even though it was her own first visit ! Highly recommended.

Lovely apartment and exceptionally helpful host

We spent 3 weeks in Lisbon at this apartment and while the neighborhood isn’t in quaint old Lisbon, it is very convenient to the Metro and several bus lines. It is also possible to walk to all the key sites and charming neighborhoods such as Alfama, Bica, Baixa etc. The host, Sofia, is delightful! She is helpful, kind, and goes above and beyond to ensure your stay is worry free. I give her the highest recommendation. The apartment is very comfortable and well equipped. It was a great base to discover Lisbon. A good supermarket is minutes away and lots of restaurants are within a short walk.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property and the owner was awesome! She arranged transport to and from airport. We enjoyed the location and were able to walk to shopping, restaurants, etc. Uber was also very reasonable and how we mostly got around to further locations. The VRBO had everything we needed and we even had breakfast waiting for us when we arrived. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful stay in Lisbon!

This was one of the best properties I have rented. My family and I do travel a lot and have a lot of experience with renting properties. Sofia was wonderful- she took the time to show us the apartment and how things worked which I appreciated. She left Granola, eggs, milk , fruit , jam and cheese for us to enjoy. The apartment itself was very spacious, clean and the beds were so comfortable . There are abundant towels, facecloths, adaptor plugs and an English cartoon channel for the kids! Location was perfect - 1 min to a grocery store and 5 to a metro stop. Only con was the lack of air conditioning. The fans were helpful and the area where the bedrooms were does stay cool. Thanks so much Sofia!

Lovely week in Lisbon

The apartment was perfect and it was very easy to find your way around Lisbon from here. The host Sofia was amazing!!! She met us at the apartment with a warm welcome and took lots of time to ask questions about our interests and help us plan out our week. Having breakfast food in the fridge was so appreciated and delicious. Sofia also organized our airport transfers and a full day tour with Ricardo who was also wonderful !!! Have nothing but good things to say about our stay here. For those who have mobility issues, there is no lift and the apartment is on the third floor. This is clearly indicated in the description of the apartment. Would love to stay here again!!

Perfect Apartment and Wonderful Host

Sofia was a wonderful host. After booking the apartment, she reached out to us to help coordinate rides to/from the airport. She also had a welcome breakfast for us upon our arrival (and inquired as to any dietary restrictions beforehand). She met us at the apartment and took the time to show us how to operate the door locks, the windows, the appliances, the showers, the stereo, and the tv/cable - all of which are different than what we are used to in the United States, so that was really appreciated. She was also available via FaceTime if we had any issues. The apartment was gorgeous - original tiles and wood stairs in the building, original wood doors, shutters, and flooring throughout the apartment, and fully updated kitchen and bathrooms. The apartment was also spacious, beautifully decorated (with fresh flowers in the living room and bedrooms), clean, and very comfortable. We felt at home and enjoyed having a glass of wine on the balcony at the end of our days and relaxing in the living room planning our next day. The apartment is perfectly located just off of Av. da Liberdade and there is a cafe across the street and markets at either end of the block. The neighborhood is quiet at night, which was perfect for getting a good nights sleep with the windows open. Overall we enjoyed our stay and have recommended the apartment to friends thinking of visiting Lisbon. As this was a girls trip, we look forward to returning with our husbands in the future.
