The red door opened to our apt in Lisbon. We welcomed the sight of it after a long day walking up and down and up and down!!
Though it was on the 2nd floor, those steps weren’t much compared to the city of Lisbon. We welcomed a place to sit and relax together with our friend and yet have the privacy of our own bedrooms. The washing machine was extremely welcomed and let us not take so many clothes with. While the second shower is very small, we just shared the larger shower between us and then could each otherwise have our own bathrooms. The air conditioner in main sections was lovely, and to cool off the bedrooms we opened the windows in the evening and then could shut if needed to sleep. The shutters kept noise down and light out.
I really appreciated that we were shown where everything was, not in a hurried manner and there was a book left with instructions on everything. There also were some supplies for the dishwasher, washing machine, and other items in the pantry as well.
Coffee shop a couple doors away and stores for food close by, if just milk or so, nearly next door. Close to tram 28 to catch a ride early one morning without long lines.
Oh yes, nice hot, hot water for showers!
