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!

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.

Very good welcome from Rowena in Lisboa!! her appartment is tastefully decorated and clean; may be a little bit small for us but Rowena knows how to be discreet.
The place is quiet and close from all lines of buses and tram and near the Jeronimo monastery!December 2023
J'ai passé un merveilleux séjour chez Rowena qui est une hôte très accueillante et pleine de sollicitude. Nous avons eu de beaux échanges et l'appartement est idéalement situé près des transports pour le centre et au cœur de Belém. La chambre, sa salle de bain privée et le jardin sont très agréables. Je retournerai avec grand plaisir chez Rowena pour un prochain séjour ! Merci encore !!!

We really enjoyed our time with Rowena. She is very welcoming and friendly. The bedroom is small but very comfortable and quiet. The bathroom has an amazing shower. The location is great, a local neighborhood with good, cheap transport links to the centre and other areas around Lisbon. We would recommend it.

We enjoyed our stay with Rowena. We only needed a place to squeeze in a short sleep before we left for an early morning flight. The Belem location was perfect with the palace down the street, the famous Portuguese tarts around the corner and down the street, just before the monastery. We were able to easily tour around and discover Belem.
Rowena made us feel comfortable and right at home.
Thank you!August 2023
