Sofia's Penthouse Is really a fantastic opportunity to live in a lovely and central part of Lisboa! I was in the property for 3 months, and found I could walk to anything I wanted, and became a regular at some places. Supermarket is literally on the ground floor of the building! There are many good restaurants steps away, including a very unique Sushi place right next door. Be sure to tell Ricardo that you live in the building! He loves serving neighbors. Just a few blocks from Parque Eduardo VII, which is huge and sometimes hosts events.
The apartment itself has good sunlight during the day, a computer workstation, more than ample kitchen with anything you might need, and nice bed with a good mattress. Surrounding the apartment is a huge private terrace, so you can sit outside to read or sip a coffee!
The majestic historical building itself was renovated in 2018, so everything inside is very current and in good condition! Bathroom is huge with marble floor and walls! Includes a king-sized bathtub AND a shower. Lovely hardwood flooring throughout. German appliances. Bonus is also the VERY COOL old-style elevator in the main atrium! You feel like you are living in history (in a good way)!!
Sofia is a very congenial and attentive host and really helped out!! I was her first guest, and there were items needing attention from the previous owner. She responded instantly and saw to it that everything was resolved quickly and to everyone's satisfaction. The building is VERY WELL maintained as a whole, and a very classy place to stay.
You will be lucky to snag this place if it becomes available!
