There are both advantages and disadvantages of this appartment.

To finish with good things, I will start with what I liked less. And to begin with, the appartment is wet and cold and has a dampness smell. In particular it is humid in the bed (we stayed there in winter), and you don't have a heater. Second, it is impossible to sleep on Friday and Saturday until 3AM or so because it is really loud outside (there are pubs and nightclubs around). In the rest of the days we were woken up only occasionally.

Then, the appartment is located on the fourth flour with narrow stairs so it is a bit inconvenient to go up and down if you have suitcases or are just tired.

Coming back to the appartment itself, I'd say it needs renovation (leaking toilet, swollen paint on the walls caused by dampness, a broken wall outlet, a ragged kitchen cupboard door etc). It also lacks of cosiness as there are no any decorations or curtains, just empty white walls. Then, you don't have kitchen or hands towels (only 1 bathroom towel per person), there are no a lighter for a gas oven, soap and detergent. BTW we left a lighter and soaps for the next guests, enjoy! :)

Speaking of the absence of detergent, I am wondering how 2 wet and already a bit rotten towels left in the washing mashing were actually washed - just with water, no any desinfection? I am just hoping that our bedclothes were washed properly...

Now the advantages. It is the owner in the first place who is really responsive and provides with every piece of information you need in Lisbon. He spent quite a time telling us about destinations worthy to go and gave us some touristic booklets (we left them there for next guests and added some more booklets as well).

The second thing we did appreciate was the central location of the appartment which was really convenient. Thanks to it you can easily reach by walk almost everything in the downtown.

It is also important to mention that the photos of the appartment completely reflect what it really is.
