Lovely Lisbon Tejo Apartment

Lovely spacious apartment equipped with everything you could wish for. It is close (250m) to the Braco de Prata railway station between Oriente and Lisbon Santa Apolonia, and is also on the line to Sintra. A small grocery store, with a reasonable collection of wines, and a popular coffee shop are located on the ground floor of same building. A much bigger grocery store at Oriente is a stone's throw from the Orient Station, just one stop away. The apartment is on the top (9th) floor, and is easily accessible by two lifts - no steps top climb. It has balconies on both sides so, no matter which way the wind is blowing or the sun is shining, you could sit outside and enjoy the views of the Tejo, with a glass of wine. The interior is light and uncluttered, but equipped with everything we needed. We only ate out at lunchtime, when we were out and about. All our other meals we cooked in the small but well equipped kitchen, including roast chicken and roast potatoes. When we left, after staying nine nights, we felt like we were leaving home. The best part of all was our host, Rui. He met us when we arrived by taxi from the airport, helped us carry our bags, and then provided us with lots of useful information about Lisbon, including how to get around. He was always available on WhatsApp to answer any questions we had during our visit. He also came around when we left to wish us well. The perfect host!

We wanted for nothing. However, if you want to dine out in the evenings (which we did not), you must be prepared to catch a train or a bus. Neither is a problem. This is a quiet area , outside of the hustle and bustle of city life. That was part of its charm for us.
