Portugal, Estremadura
Best points about the property:
" PERFECT LOCATION: Beautiful and cozy roof-top apartment, full of character and light, located in the heart of the famous «Bairro Alto», known as one of the most attractive and picturesque areas of the Lisbon’s city center. At night, this 17th century colorful district is transformed into the city's vibrant nightlife quarter. The main streets and narrow passageways are bustling with activity of dozens of excellent traditional restaurants, «fado singing houses», cafés, and a multitude of sleek clubs and bars that stay open until late. In recent years, «Bairro Alto» is also an alternative shopping destination, for those looking for trendy design shops, art galleries and bookshops... PERFECT APARTMENT: This easy going decorated, fully equipped and completely renovated apartment comprises a front-facing living and dining room, with a sunny balcony and a double sofa bed, a separate kitchen, 2 very quiet double bedrooms and a bathroom. The entire apartment is very bright, spacious and has a view over Lisbon’s sunny rooftops. It can comfortably accommodate up to 6 guests, making it ideal for a group of friends or a family... CLOSE TO EVERYTHING: This apartment offers the pleasure of a prime location and proximity to Lisbon's oldest and most popular sites, such as: the famous «Chiado» quarter and the «Rossio Square» (2 and 5 minutes walking distance) and to the main public transportation network, such as: the metro station «Baixa-Chiado» (2 minutes away), the «Rossio» and «Cais do Sodré» train stations (both 5 minutes away), including many trams and city buses.

Hints and tips from the owner:
See the personal website of the owner" SIGHSEEING: Within short walking distance you could visit «Bairro Alto», the «Elevador da Bica», «Chiado», the «Ruins of Convento do Carmo», the «Rossio» and «Comércio» squares, «Alfama» and the «Castelo de São Jorge». On a second day go to «Belém». Once you’re there, don’t forget to treat yourself with a «Pastel de Nata» at the famous «Pasteis de Belém» café. SHOPPING: «Chiado» is definitely the best area in the center for shopping, from clothing and books to exquisite souvenirs. If you are more into trendy stuff, «Bairro Alto» is the place to go. For antiques and all sorts of «bric à brac» go to «Feira da Ladra», a popular flea market in «Campo de Santa Clara». EATING: «Bairro Alto» has plenty of good restaurants. «Adega das Mercês» and «Sinal Vermelho» are 2 of my favorites. NIGHTLIFE: If entertainment is what you’re looking for, don’t go any further! In «Bairro Alto», just at the apartment doorstep, you will find innumerous options, from all sorts of tacky bars to the trendiest pubs of the Lisbon’s nightlife scene. Going downhill, across «Bica», you definitely should not miss «Lounge», a cool alternative bar for those who try to avoid the crowds. BEACH & SURROUNDINGS: You should enjoy the proximity of beautiful beaches, like «Cascais» and «Guincho» and visit world heritage sites like «Sintra», an impressive village located in the suburbs of Lisbon. Take a suburban train at «Cais do Sodré» for the first option, and at «Rossio» for the second one. SLEEPING: «Mi casa es tu casa!»… Stay at my place and make yourself at home… (For more tips see the apartment internet site) "

"We are a family of 5 & spend 4 nights there in may. It was just great! location in the city is perfect (close to the Santini ice creams! and to the tram 28 & secure enough to let the kids do the shopping on their own), caracterictics of the flat are fine and the welcome from Joana is really good! Just a few points to be aware of: old and traditional building with its charms, but also its disadvantages (not possible to park a car nearby, 4th floor with steep staircase, not suitable for tall people - low ceiling!)and the surrounding is quiet during the day but become to live at night...if it''s too hot during the summer and you have to leave the windows open, it could be a problem for a quiet sleep... If we had to come back to Lisboa, we would come back to the same flat! Cécile from France."
"Great location in middle of party district, but on 4.th floor so noise level is acceptable (even with to small kids). close to public transport, absolutely recomendable!"
"Appartement situé en plein coeur du Bairro Alto et qui permet de visiter cette magnifique ville à pied. La rue y est très animée les soirees des week ends mais les chambres situées à l''arriere sont calmes. Cette ville coup de ceur reste néanmoins "physique" avec ses rues et ruelles abruptes. Mais c''est tellement beau..."
"Superbe appartement calme même si situé dans le coeur du bouillonnant Bairo Alto, avec toutes les commodités. Proche des métros et du centre de Lisbonne, avec une vue imprenable sur les toits de la ville. Propreté impeccable, serviettes fournies, tout ce qui faut pour faire la cuisine, et une bouteille de vin frais à déguster à l'arrivée (sympa !). Nous avons eu un très gentil accueil du propriétaire, et n'hésiterons pas à revenir à cet endroit la prochaine fois que nous visiterons Lisbonne. A conseiller pour un séjour en famille, comme entre amis."
"L''appartement est tres bien situé; les contacts avec le propriétaire tres sympathiques! Adresse à conseiller pour un séjour à Lisbonne. Peut etre une cafetiere et une bouilloire seraient bienvenues dans la cuisine! Sinon; c''est un excellent point de chute pour visiter Lisbonne!"
