Hello Travellers, I am Rowena from the U.K.
My lovely apartment is in beautiful Belem, right next to the Presidential Palace and also walking distance from all the attractions of Belem including the Jerónimos Monastery, Pastéis de Belém, Maat Museum and Belem Tower to name a few.
You are only 6 mins walk from the river, and nearby trams/train/bus will get you into Lisbon in about 15 minutes. Or if you plan to visit Sintra you are also in a great place to get there from here.
Your room has a double bed with private bathroom and use of the kitchen, lounge and great outdoor space in the back garden. Smoking is possible in the garden.
There are many restaurants and cafes nearby & an Auchan supermarket.
I also have pets in my home from time to time as I take care of dogs and cats but only one at a time!
Feel welcome in my home and feel free to ask any questions!

We really enjoyed staying with Rowena in Lisbon! A great spot close to lots of tourist attractions and a 2min walk to the train station! Super easy check in and Rowena was great at communicating everything we needed for our stay and provided some really meaningful recommendations of things to do on our time in Lisbon. Would absolutely stay here when we next come to Lisbon!

Rowena est une personne très accueillante. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à Lisbonne. Son appartement est très charmant et le jardin vraiment agréable. Le logement est idéalement situé, tout proche du bus, tram et train. A quelques minutes seulement de la fameuse Pastelaria de Belem. Nous vous recommandons Rowena!

Majoitus oli hyvällä paikalla, rennon rauhallisessa Belemissä, josta hyvät kulkuyhteydet keskustaan. Paljon ravintoloita lähellä. Rowena antoi paljon vinkkejä meille sopivista vierailukohteista, ravintoloista yms. Huone oli pienehkö, mutta kaikki tarvittava löytyi (= oma kylpyhuone, keittiö käytettävissä, pieni puutarha). Puhdasta ja siistiä. Puutarhassa oli kiva nauttia aamiaista. Rowena oli rento, auttavainen ja ystävällinen emäntä, jonka kanssa oli helppo tulla toimeen
Suosittelemme!March 2024
Rowena was a wonderful host. She was responsive and gave a warm welcome upon arrival. Pleasantly surprised! - comfortable room, exceptionally clean, good value and convenient location (near train/bus). Enjoyed my stay and hope to return again soon.

Our stay with Rowena was exactly what I hoped for. At the beginning of my stay I was in a hotel, but for the second half I wanted to explore the area and learn about life as lived by locals. Rowena was very helpful with both. The room was clean and comfortable. If I am ever lucky enough to go back to Lisbon, I hope to stay with Rowena again.
