Why choose a holiday apartment in Lisbon when you could stay in one of the gorgeous hotels and guesthouses available?
Well, if space is important to you then a serviced apartment in Lisbon is perfect. From kitchens that come with all you need for making simple meals to comfy living rooms for relaxing after a full day of sightseeing.
Staying in an apartment is also a great way to get to know the city on an intimate level, just like a local, as you’ll be popping to the local market or supermarket for groceries and treats.
If you’re travelling as a group, you can book a two or three bedroomed apartment and save quite a bit of money compared to having several hotel rooms.
