Arthistorian's Residence ★ central & sunny

Welcome!
This exclusive two bedroom apartment is centrally located in the historic district of "Madragoa". It is located on a car-free street, on the first floor of a traditional Portuguese building, and has been beautifully restored. The apartment (68 square meters) has a large living room, an open kitchen and two separate bedrooms.
Most highlights of Lisbon are within walking distance! You have convenient access to public transportation and easy access to the airport by taxi in less than 20 minutes.

The tasteful apartment is located on the first floor of a beautiful building in the historic district of Madragoa, built in 1870 and was completely refurbished in 2018. Its unique building structure, with exceptional high ceilings and unique windows, blends in with modern and airy interior design.
The 68 square meter apartment offers two beautiful bedrooms, facing a quiet courtyard. Each has a double bed and high quality mattress. The sunny living room with its wonderful front windows is the ideal place to enjoy a glass of green wine after exploring the vibrant life of the city or the nearby beaches. The new bathroom and kitchen are fully equipped and offer all modern comfort.

The historic district "Madragoa", with its traditional buildings and small streets, kept crowds and traffic away. It has the authentic vibe of Lisbons life and the highlights of the city are within walking distance.
Madragoa is part of the neighborhood "Santos", one of the favorite neighborhoods of old Lisbon. It offers a unique blend of traditional Portuguese life and a young urban vibe, which attracts students, artists and designers to live here. The result is a worldly mix of Portuguese taverns and traditional cafes with new restaurants, concept shops and art galleries.

Great stay

A very comfortable apartment that had everything we needed for our first visit to Lisbon. Margarida made everything very easy for us including a change of dates and fabulous airport transfers. Nice restaurants surrounding the apartment which was perfect for us after a couple of days of sightseeing. We would recommend the apartment.

September in Lisbon

A great week in a lovely apartment. We really liked the location. The building was very quiet and overlooking a pedestrianised street so no traffic noise but some local life to add atmosphere. Flat was very stylish but comfortable. We communicated with Margarida via text and she was always helpful. I would recommend the taxi transfer from (and to) the airport which was efficient and reasonable.

Parents and 20-something son

Margarida was positive, responsible and helpful every step of the way. The apartment is beautiful-high ceilings, loads of light, fantastic beds and lovely furnishings. Kitchen fully stocked but truthfully, with all the amazing restaurants within walking distance, we did not eat in once. We walked a lot, all over the city, exploring, and the prime location allowed for walking rather than having to take Ubers and taxis. We only wish we had more time…

Quiet retreat

Me and my family stayed, played and worked in this apartment for 14 days. We loved it!! It’s close to everything but away from the hustle and bustle, in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by locals. A large grocery store is just a short walk away as well as many delicious cafes. The unit was well equipped with everything we needed for day to day living. The host was amazing and quick to respond and offer suggestions. If you take an Uber, get dropped off and picked up at Flora & Fauna. It’s the easiest and most of the roads around the apartment are pedestrian routes. We were sad to leave our temporary home away from away. We might have to make it an annual trip. 😉

Surrounded by the magic of Lisboa and Madragoa

The Art historian's residence was everything we had hoped it would be. The elegant simplicity of the residence set the stage for a memorable week in Lisboa. We had just finished walking the Portuguese Camino and were looking forward to nestling into a Lisboa neighborhood that would take us out of the tourist hubbub of this big city. The Madragoa neighborhood and the residence could not have been any more perfect. We were an easy walk to the tram and buses that took us anywhere we wanted to go and whenever we chose to walk we always enjoyed where I feet took us. Margarida was a gracious host, whose recommendations for walks, restaurants, grocery shopping and COVID testing, etc. was always timely and spot on. She even arranged for our transport to and from the airport with an exceptional driver, making our arrival and departure absolutely seamless. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer. By the end of the week, we had learned so much about the neighborhood and surrounding areas that we wanted more time to apply all that we had figured out. This was a perfect introduction to Lisboa and left us wanting to linger a bit longer.

Lisbon Apartment Central and Foodie Heaven

The unit has two bedrooms with a conjoined Kitchen/living room space. It is ideal for 4 people, I would find 5 adults a little tight. If the fifth was a child then that would work. The hostess (Margarida) was perfect. Check-in was flawless and accommodated the fact that my daughter and fiance arrived an hour before me yet she met with them and allowed check-in. Her instructions were clear and accurate. Her restaurant recommendations were excellent. The location is so central, close to everything yet not in the very busy Alfama district, or the loud Barrio Alto bar district. With 4 people it cost us less than 5 Euro's to Uber anywhere in central Lisbon so it was actually cheaper than the tram. A few minutes walk and we were on the "Green Street" where there were at least 6 small ocal restaurants. The food was excellent in each place. I really can't rate this high enough and will definitely be back my next trip to Lisbon.

Im Herzen von Lissabon mit herzlichem Empfang.

Der Empfang durch Margarida war sehr nett. Sie hatte wertvolle Tipps, von Läden, Cafés, Restaurants in der Umgebung, Ausflugszielen, Rundgängen (per Mail), und Hinweisen zum Transfer innerhalb der Stadt. Dazu liegt im Appartement eine Liste aus mit Tipps und nützlichen Hinweisen. In dem Appartment haben wir uns sofort wohlgefühlt. Die Betten waren klasse, und auch wenn es keinen Balkon hat, gibt es im Zimmer eine Balkontür, an der man im Zimmer sitzen kann und neben Vögeln den Klangteppich des Treibens im Viertel hören kann. Die Sonne scheint genau dort hinein. Ein schöner Platz zum Lesen. Bücher, vor allem zu Kunst und Design sind vorhanden. Kinderspielzeug haben wir nicht gefunden, dafür ein Tablet, und Kinder sind willkommen. Für Familien mit 2 Kindern ist das Appartement geeignet. Die Lage ist sehr günstig. Ein winziges Lädchen ist in der Straße. Dort bekommt man neben leckeren Brötchen das Wichtigste zum Leben. Frühstücken kann man sehr gut im Fauna & Flora. Der Park Estrela (sehr erholsam und am Ende der unweit verlaufenden Tram 28 gelegen) ist ein schöner Tipp. Aussichtspunkte. Chiado. Besser kann man nicht wohnen. Man kann günstiger wohnen, das stimmt wohl, aber es hat sich voll gelohnt.

Fast perfekt

Wir haben zwei wunderbare Wochen in Lissabon verbracht. Die Ausstattung der Wohnung war über das Beschriebene hinaus sehr gut! Margarida war eine tolle Gastgeberin, die uns mit vielen guten Tipps versorgt und immer schnell geantwortet hat. Für uns kein großes Problem, aber bei der Planung zu bedenken: die nächste Metro-Station (Cais de Sodré) ist 15 Minuten Fußweg entfernt.

Wonderful stay in Lisbon

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the light-filled and modern apartment. Margarida was a good communicator, always helpful and generous with her knowledge of Lisbon. The neighborhood has the feel of a village, but with the bonus of a well- known coffee roastery and numerous restaurants that serve great food. Public transportation (tram, train, bus) is close-by and many destinations are easily reached on foot. It’s a great place from which to explore and enjoy Lisbon.

Excellent apartment, centrally located, very helpful host

We have spent a great time in Lisbon thanks to Margarida and her wonderful apartment! The Location is just perfect, very easy to get around so we parked the car around the corner and did not use it for our entire stay. Even though it’s a lively neighborhood the apartment is very quiet and all of have slept well (comfy beds!). The apartment is very clean and surprisingly good equipped (especially the kitchen!). Margarida has given us helpful recommendations for restaurants nearby and was flexible with check-in time, which was very helpful. We totally recommend this place and are looking forward to stay there again hopefully this year again.
