A
gorgeous
air-conditioned
apartment
right
in
the
centre
in
Lisbon.
The
place
looks
as
perfect
in
real
life
as
the
promotional
photos.
We
stayed
during
the
40+
summer
heatwave
of
2018
and
it
was
so
relaxing
coming
back
to
such
a
large
cool
well
equipped
apartment
at
the
end
of
a
hot
day.
In
fact,
it
was
so
well
located
that
we
could
pop
back
and
forth
between
the
apartment
and
the
city
centre
many
times
a
day.
Get
the
top
floor
apartment
if
you
can.
You
get
the
whole
top
floor
to
yourself,
with
views
to
the
north
and
south
across
the
city
rooftops.
There's
a
lift,
so
we
didn't
have
to
haul
our
suitcases
up
and
down
the
stairs,
and
a
fully-featured
smart
TV
with
Netflix
and
YouTube.
There's
also
free
fast
wi-fi.
The
reliability
was
a
bit
poor
at
first,
but
after
rebooting
(it's
in
the
cupboard
behind
the
door)
I
managed
to
test
it
at
28Mbps!
Checking
in
was
a
little
bit
tortuous.
It
is
all
done
via
a
self-service
kiosk
in
the
basement,
entering
details
of
everyone
staying,
scanning
their
passports,
and
giving
your
(correct)
reservation
number.
Our
reservation
number
wasn't
recognised,
but
a
quick
phone
call
using
the
integrated
handset
soon
fixed
it.
The
passport
scanning
can
also
be
a
bit
fiddly,
requiring
us
to
try
at
least
twice
before
they
were
recognised.
All
entry
to
the
building
and
your
room
is
with
a
long
security
code,
so
don't
lose
it
or
forget
it!!
For
local
dining
there
is
R.
das
Portas
de
Santo
Antão
just
around
the
corner
with
a
large
number
of
(tourist)
restaurants.
Or
you
can
venture
just
a
little
further
south
onto
R.
dos
Correeiros
for
vast
selection
of
even
more
touristy
restaurants.
Heck,
there’s
even
an
alfresco
McDonalds
nearby!
While
you’re
out
and
about,
try
the
Ginjinha
seller
on
the
corner
of
Praça
da
Figueira
and
Rua
da
Betesga.
The
drinks
are
delicious,
from
€1
per
shot,
and
have
so
many
different
flavours
to
choose
from.
Don’t
try
to
drive
here
though.
The
roads
are
crazy
busy,
very
tight
outside
the
apartments,
and
with
little
or
no
place
to
park.
