Lisbon Luxury: 140m² Liberty Deluxe Apartment Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your average hotel review. This is going to be a chaotic, honest, and utterly human take on Lisbon Luxury: 140m² Liberty Deluxe Apartment Awaits! Let's dive in, shall we?
Lisbon Luxury: 140m² Liberty Deluxe Apartment Awaits! - A Review That's Actually, You Know, Real
Right, so, Lisbon. Beautiful city. And this…this apartment. It’s got potential. Big potential. Let's break it down, shall we? God, I need another coffee. Where is that thing? Ah, found it. Okay, deep breaths.
The "Oh My God, Did I Remember To Pack My Toothbrush?!" Stuff (aka "Accessibility & Safety" - because you know, necessities):
- Accessibility: Okay, this is a mixed bag. The listing mentions "Facilities for disabled guests," but it doesn't explicitly say "wheelchair accessible" everywhere (like, I'm hunting for the exact definition). That makes me nervous, it'll be great to reach out to confirm.
- Safety First, Always (The OCD Side of Me LOVES This): Okay, so they seem to have their act together on this front, which is a huge weight off my mind. "Anti-viral cleaning products," "rooms sanitized between stays," "daily disinfection in common areas." I'm already imagining fluffy slippers and a pristine hotel room. Maybe they even have the good hand sanitizer, the kind that doesn't smell like hospital waiting rooms. And, bonus: "Doctor/nurse on call." Because, you know, life.
- Cleanliness & Security (The Paranoid Side of Me Also Loves This): I mean, "first aid kit," "hand sanitizer," "staff trained in safety protocol." I appreciate the effort. If they forgot this stuff, well, I am calling the police. There's CCTV, Security around the clock, and fire extinguishers. That's a good sign.
The Indulgence Factor: Spa, Pools, and Other Luxuries (Hello, Treat Yo' Self!)
Alright, now we're getting into the good stuff. Let's be honest, whether it's a sauna, pool, or massage, it's a must-have.
- Spa? Fitness? Yes, Please! "Spa/sauna," "steamroom," "swimming pool," "fitness center,"… My inner lazy bum did a double take, went into full-on panic mode. I can already picture myself, a big blob on a lounge chair by the pool, with a view. Pool with view sounds downright decadent.
- Massages & Relaxation: Oh, lord, "massage," "body scrub," "body wrap,"… I can get the whole "pamper yourself" experience and feel the stresses melt away. My inner need for me-time is screaming for it.
- For the Kids: They seem family-friendly, which is a huge win. "Babysitting service," "Kids meal" - all the things that make a holiday a actual holiday for parents.
Food, Glorious Food! (Because I'm Always Hungry)
I live to eat. So a hotel's food situation can make or break my stay.
- Breakfast Bonanza: "Breakfast [buffet]," "Asian breakfast," "Western breakfast," "Breakfast in room," and "Breakfast takeaway service." YES. This is what I’m talking about. I can have the breakfast of champions, or order it on my pajamas. This is important.
- Dining Options: They have "restaurants," "a la carte in restaurant," "salad in restaurant," "soup in restaurant," "Asian cuisine in restaurant." I am so there for the food. They have a "poolside bar" too. I call it paradise.
- Snacking & Hydration: "Bottle of water," "Snack bar," "Coffee/tea in restaurant," "Room service [24-hour]." Excellent! I am always thirsty.
- Important Note: I'd want to know the opening times of the restaurants. Late night snacking is a must and a pool bar is a must.
The Nitty-Gritty: What's in Your Room, Partner? (aka The Details That Matter)
This is where things get interesting. Let's face it, the room is where you spend the majority of your time, so:
- The Basics (The "Must-Haves"): "Air conditioning," "Wi-Fi [free]," "Free bottled water," "Hair dryer," "In-room safe box," "Mini bar," "Private bathroom," "Shower," "Towels," "Toiletries," "Wake-up service," "Window that opens." Check, check, check, check! I hate hotels that skimp on the basics.
- The Niceties (The "Oh, This is Nice!"): "Bathtub," "Bathrobes," "Coffee/tea maker," "Desk," "Extra long bed," "Ironing facilities," "Laptop workspace," "Non-smoking," "Refrigerator," "Satellite/cable channels," "Seating area," "Separate shower/bathtub," "Slippers," "Sofa." Okay, this is looking promising. A bathtub is a must. I'm sold.
- The Tech (The "Gotta Stay Connected"): "Internet access – LAN," "Internet access – wireless," "On-demand movies." Again, necessary! A laptop workspace is perfect.
Services and Conveniences (The Stuff That Makes Life Easier)
- Front Desk and Services: "24-hour front desk," "Concierge," "Doorman," "Daily housekeeping," "Laundry service," "Dry cleaning," "Luggage storage," "Currency exchange," "Cash withdrawal," "Invoice provided." Okay, it does things well overall.
- The "Little Things" (That Make a BIG Difference): "Air conditioning in public area," "Elevator," "Facilities for disabled guests," "Ironing service," "Smoking area," "Terrace," "Bicycle parking."
- Getting Around: "Airport transfer," "Taxi service," "Valet parking," "Car park [free of charge]," "Car park [on-site]." That's fantastic.
The "Things to Do" Stuff (Besides Lounging by the Pool)
- Meetings & Events: "Meeting/banquet facilities," "On-site event hosting," "Seminars," "Business facilities," "Audio-visual equipment for special events," "Indoor venue for special events," "Outdoor venue for special events," "Projector/LED display," "Wi-Fi for special events," "Xerox/fax in business center."
- Other Fun Stuff: "Gift/souvenir shop," "Shrine."
- Extras:"Babysitting service," "Family/child friendly," "Kids facilities," "Kids meal."
My (Slightly Over-the-Top) Recommendation:
Look, Lisbon is amazing. This apartment sounds amazing (though, seriously, confirm the accessibility situation!). It has all the ingredients for a truly luxurious getaway. The food options, the spa, the attention to safety…it's all great. And that bath! It's tempting me.
BUT…
I need to know more about the vibe. Is it stuffy? Is it relaxed? Is it filled with Instagram influencers glued to their phones? (I'm being honest, I hate that).
My "Book Now!" Pitch (with a sprinkle of reality):
Tired of the mundane? Craving a Lisbon escape filled with luxury and ease?
Here's the deal: Lisbon Luxury: 140m² Liberty Deluxe Apartment Awaits! is calling your name. Imagine waking up in a sprawling apartment, sunlight streaming through your windows.

- Unbelievable space: 140m² of pure comfort, ready to relax.
- Luxury for all!

Koreatown's Hidden Gem: Luxurious Garden Suite Hotel (Clark/ Angeles)
Alright, buckle up buttercup, because this Lisbon Liberty 140 Deluxe apartment itinerary? It's gonna be less "flight, hotel, sightseeing" and more "disaster, triumph, existential crisis, repeat." I'm warning you, I'm not the travel-bro type. My "plan" is more of a suggestion box, and my emotions are permanently set to "level 11: Slightly Overwhelmed."
Day 1: Arrival & Apartment Shenanigans (or, "Screaming at IKEA in Portuguese")
- Morning (like, REALLY morning, after battling the worst jet lag ever): Touchdown in Lisbon! And let me tell you, the airport’s a chaotic ballet of lost luggage and confused tourists. Found my luggage (miracle!). The instructions to get to the apartment? Let's just say my Portuguese is about as good as my interpretive dance skills (read: nonexistent). Ended up having to actually use a Taxi.
- Mid-day (after a minor breakdown involving a malfunctioning map app): FINALLY! The Lisbon Liberty 140 Deluxe apartment. It's stunning. Actual. Gorgeous. That view from the balcony? Sigh. I'm already in love. Except… where's the coffee maker? No coffee. This is a crisis.
- Afternoon (fueled by desperate caffeine cravings): Grocery run. The local market – a sensory overload of cured meats, fragrant cheeses, and… oh god… the Portuguese speak so fast. Attempted to buy coffee beans. Accidentally bought a bag of what I think is ground pepper. Ended up pointing and grunting until a kind old lady (bless her soul) took pity on me. Back at the apartment, I discover the coffee machine. (victory)
- Evening: Tried to assemble the new coffee table I impulse-bought from IKEA (because, you know, relaxation). Turns out “some assembly required” translated to “existential dread and a vocabulary of curse words.” Ended up having to start from scratch and taking a break. The view from balcony at sunset, and coffee. So I don't think I ever felt more at peace.
Day 2: The Pastel de Nata Pilgrimage & Finding My Inner Pessoa (or, "I’m Pretty Sure This City Is Haunted by Good Food")
- Morning: Pastel de nata research and development, a.k.a. eating approximately seven pastel de natas in various locations. Important research. My conclusions? They're all good. Some are… better. (The one from Pastelaria Santo António is a religious experience. Seriously.) I had to walk for an hour around Lisboa after this, because of a lack of space.
- Mid-day: Wandered through the Alfama district. Seriously, it's like stepping into a postcard. Cobblestone streets, laundry strung across balconies, the smell of grilled sardines (omg). Got slightly lost. Ended up in a tiny, hidden fado bar. Which did cause a slight tear in my eye.
- Afternoon: Found the house of Fernando Pessoa. (The great Portuguese poet, for the uninitiated). Felt a sudden, intense urge to write a sonnet. Failed miserably. Settled for scribbling down a grocery list instead.
- Evening: Dinner at a tiny, unassuming restaurant. Ordered something I couldn't pronounce (probably the pepper I bought the day before). It was amazing. The waiter was a charming old man who kept calling me "princesa." Felt like I'd officially been adopted into the Lisbon family.
Day 3: Sintra & Palace Problems (or, "Don't Wear Heels, Idiot")
- Morning: Train to Sintra. Everyone told me it was magical. They weren't wrong. But getting there was a nightmare. The train station was packed, I got on the wrong train twice, and then, of course, I wore… heels. Facepalm.
- Mid-day: Pena Palace. Colorful, ridiculously romantic, seriously Instagrammable. Also, a hike. A steep, winding, "I-should-have-worn-hiking-boots" hike. My ankles are currently staging a protest.
- Afternoon: Quinta da Regaleira. The Initiation Well. The gardens. The… everything. Absolutely stunning. Got completely blissed out, forgot all about my aching feet. Almost got lost in a maze. Found a secret passage! It really did feel like the start of a movie.
- Evening: Made it back to Lisbon just as a thunderstorm started. Curled up on the sofa in the apartment with a glass of wine. Watched the rain fall on the terracotta rooftops. Finally, I think, relaxed!
Day 4: Beach Day Blues & the Belém Bonanza (or, "Salty Hair, Gritty Sand, and a Near-Death Experience with a Tram")
- Morning: Attempted to go to the beach at Carcavelos. Got on the wrong train. Again. (Starting to see a pattern here).
- Mid-day: Finally made it to the beach. The sea! The sand! The… hordes of screaming children. Found a spot (miracle!) and promptly got sand in everything. Took a dip in the ocean, felt instantly reborn. (Until a rogue wave nearly knocked me over).
- Afternoon: Belém. The Jerónimos Monastery. The Belém Tower. More pastel de natas. (Because, priorities). Got almost flattened by a speeding tram while trying to take a picture. Realized I need to stop being a tourist-y cliché.
- Evening: Back at the apartment, watched the sunset from the balcony, had a really good bottle of wine. Contemplated the meaning of life. Decided it involved more pastel de natas. This time, the conversation with the wine got very long.
Day 5: Departure Day (or, "I Don't Want to Leave!")
- Morning: Packing. Cursing. Packing again. Realizing I've bought approximately seven pounds of cheese and a ridiculously oversized ceramic rooster. Panic-buying last-minute souvenirs.
- Mid-day: One last coffee on the balcony. One last look at the view. Sobbing quietly. (Okay, maybe not quietly). Realizing I haven't seen half the things I planned to.
- Afternoon: Taxi to the airport. Saying goodbye to the apartment, to Lisbon, to my brief, intense love affair with this chaotic, beautiful city. (I’m already planning my return.)
- Evening: On the flight home… Exhausted. Sunburned. Slightly hungover. But also… completely and utterly in love. And I realized the pepper was not pepper. Something I'll never forget.
Okay, so, a few random observations and notes:
- The trams are cool, but they're also evil. They will try to kill you.
- Learn some Portuguese. Even a little bit. It'll make your life a million times easier. (I'm still working on it.)
- The food is divine. Everywhere. Just… be prepared to gain five pounds.
- Lisbon is a city of hills. Your calves will hate you, but your Instagram feed will thank you.
- Embrace the chaos. Get lost. Make mistakes. That's where the magic happens.
- And most importantly, remember this: Always. Eat. The. Pastel. De. Nata.
So, what exactly *is* this whole thing about? I mean, beside being a hot mess?
Alright, alright, good question, mostly to stop you from running away screaming. This isn't some slick, perfectly polished website, okay? Consider this your therapy session, my rant, and hopefully, a little bit of relatable chaos all rolled into one. Topics? Well, life, love, the utter absurdity of paying for avocados, and probably a lot of things I haven't even realized I need to complain about yet. Basically, it’s about the human experience, because let’s be honest, it’s all pretty weird. This entire thing is a work in progress. A beautiful, hot, messy, flawed, work in progress.
Do you actually know what you're talking about?
Ha! That depends. Do *you*? Look, I know a *lot* of stuff, in that vague, generally-useless-for-quizing-but-handy-for-dinner-party-bragging kind of way. I've got opinions, I've got experiences (some good, some… well, let's just say they involved questionable fashion choices and a regrettable karaoke rendition of "I Will Survive"). But expert? God, no. That's what makes it fun for me. Because the "stuff" I've learned, even the lessons the hard way, are relatable.
Why are you doing this? What's the *point*?
Okay, real talk? Because the voices in my head needed an outlet, and frankly, they were getting *loud*. Also, I'm hoping someone, *anyone*, out there feels less alone after reading this. Maybe they see themselves in my failures, or in my successes (if I have any, which you can't confirm yet). Ultimately, I'm hoping to connect. To share, commiserate, and maybe, just *maybe*, laugh together. Maybe one day I will have a point.
What kind of topics can I expect to find?
Good *lord*. Brace yourself. It's a smorgasbord of the human condition. You'll probably see:
- Relationship Ramblings: Because, let’s face it, love is a battlefield… and sometimes, so is choosing what to have for dinner with your partner.
- Existential Crisis Corner: The real reason why I chose to create this monstrosity.
- The Awkward Years and Beyond: Yeah, that's most of my life, really.
- Food glorious food: Expect an absolute *obsession* with food. Trying new recipes. Desperately trying not to burn them. Obsessively reading about food. Etc.
- The "I'm Not Sure What I'm Doing" Guide to Living: This is a continuing series.
- Random, Unfiltered Thoughts: The stuff that keeps me up at night – and probably you, too.
Okay, so I read something you wrote, and... I'm not sure I agree. Now what?
Good! I *want* you to disagree! That’s how we learn, right? I'm not expecting a bunch of nodding heads. We're not a cult here, thank goodness. Tell me! Leave a comment, send me an email. Vent. Debate. Just don't be a jerk. I'm open to conversation, even if it's heated. Just… please, don't call me names. Unless they're funny. Then, maybe.
Are you actually serious, about any of this?
Mostly? No. Yes? Sometimes? Okay, let me be real: I am trying to find out who I am, and that's serious business. But at the same time, I don't take myself *too* seriously. The world is a chaotic, complicated mess, and the only way to get through it is with a sense of humor… and maybe a large glass of wine. So, the answers? Mostly, yes. But with plenty of side helpings of sarcasm and general silliness.
I swear, I can relate to some of these. Is this… an actual person?
I am real! Well, at least, I *think* I am. Look, I'm right here. Typing words. Making questionable life choices. Questioning what I am having for dinner. Unless this is all just a really elaborate simulation… in which case, somebody please send help. Or at least, pizza. Now, the only thing that's keeping me going is knowing other people are out there, failing alongside me.
Okay, but what about your *biggest* mistake?
Oh, *honey*, where do I even *start*? Let's just say there was the time I accidentally dyed my hair green before a job interview. And then there was the ill-advised decision to try to bake a cake from scratch… which resulted in something that resembled a volcanic eruption more than a dessert. And then there was that relationship. I am not going into further detail. That was all… bad.
What's a typical day like for you?
Well, a typical day starts with me hitting snooze... a lot. Then comes the frantic rush to get ready, usually including a panic-fueled hunt for my keys (they’re always in the last place I look, you know?). Then, it's a mix of work (if I'm lucky), trying to remember to eat, and dodging the ever-present feeling of existential dread. Oh, and if I'm being honest, a significant chunk of my day is spent daydreaming about escaping to a remote island with a never-ending supply of chocolate.
Your biggest *success*?
Okay, so, a good question, because it requires a bit of thinking. On a really good day, I managed to make an adult decision, like paying a bill on time. And you know what? It's a win! Seriously, my biggest successes usually come in small doses. Okay, maybe there was that time, I got a project done ahead ofHotel Search Trek
