I have a Bed Breakfast Apartment rental "Montreal Boutique Suite" and have looked many times for something similar in Europe but have never found anything to my liking. It was a great to find this condo apartment in Lisbon. First lets start to say the owner who I emailed 3 times  to discuss the booking acted very professional. I wanted to verify everything about the condo apartment prior to the deposit and I wasn't disappointed on arrival. The area is very upscale which one can notice first by having one of  Lisbon's most famous cafes just up the street, one of the most famous jewelers Cartier is across the street as well china store Villeroy Boch. I called from the airport and gave my time of arrival to the company that looks after the 2 condos for Paulo the owner. She greeted us in the same manner as a hotel receptionist.  We were told of the 2 nearby grocery stores. The apartment is the equivalent of a 5star hotel but self catering. We stayed 8 nights and were offered a maid service on day 4.  The apartment is  a large 1 bedroom w/queen bed,the other apart. 5th floor has 2 bedrooms, large dresser, closet. The bathroom has a jacuzzi tub,,,, don't use bubble bath even a capful created a overflow of bubbles onto the floor, I recommend using bath salts. The kitchen was amazing & was equipped w/gas range-oven, under the counter fridge, dishwasher, microwave, all dishes etc. & washer-dryer combination. There is as well a vacuum,clothes presser, plasma TV,  dining table for 4 & sofa bed in the living room . The unit is on the 4 fl serviced by a elevator. The Apt. has 3 sets of french doors with interior sound proof doors if you want to sleep in. The balcony is about 34" w  by about 30 ft. A few tips on the city is to stay at least 10 days if your a monument and historian fan. Travel to Sintra for 1 or 2 trips by a short train ride of 40 minutes and return to the apartment rather than drive etc. A tip for the Metro is to buy the metro card which costs 1 Euro and top it up as you wish 3.50 I beleive was the cost for a daily unlimited 24 hour use from the first activation of it. The ticket gives access to the Junta elavator up the street,trams, tram funiculars, metro, buses & I think it included the boat ferries but not sure on this, .80 euro for one trip. THERE ARE ONLY TWO PLACES TO TOP IT UP one is inside the metro or SOME shops with the logo of PAY SHOP a red sign but they are a little difficult to find. Always remember it is 24 hours from the first time you use it and you will need it to exit the metro so it has to be within the time. And there are spot checks to verify your ticket. There is a farmers market across from the train stn.

We also wanted you to know that Raul, a guy from the management company, was very friendly, nice, and helpful. His advice on where to go for grocery shopping and where to go in the greater Lisbon area was very helpful.
