was the loveliest apartment to stay in — central to everything including loads of great restaurants, shopping and sites to see all within walking distance and also very afforable. designed by a spanish designer, it was full of unique vintage but comfy pieces and decorated with fresh flowers — it’s those little things that make a place special and memorable. each morning they hung a bag of fresh baked bread at our door and the fridge was stocked with fresh yogurt, cheeses, butter for our bread. there was always fresh coffee and milk, too. we stayed in unit 4b, — the space is minimalist chic and spare in that perfectly european way — with beautiful morning light, so there was no need to rush out the door to hunt for breakfast. i was content right where i was, eating at the beautiful old farm table and taking in the picturesque view from the fourth floor.
both bedrooms were super charming, too — one with a whimsical mural and the most interesting bedside tables and lamps. the other, with fab orange chairs and a wall of vintage wicker mirrors. both rooms had comfy queen-sized beds and large french doors to admire the view from, not to mention a lovely marble bathroom and plenty of fresh linens and towels. if you’re headed to lisbon anytime soon, i highly recommend looking into a stay a . more about our trip to lisbon coming up!
