We really loved Fernanda's apartment. The place is beautiful decorated and has absolutely everything you need. Fernanda as a host is very accommodating and welcoming. The apartment is in a good location and within walking distance to restaurants, bars and Rossio station which has great transport links.
Whilst the following should absolutely not be held against our host or the inside of her lovely apartment, I do need to highlight some points which stopped this from being a five star review:
- I think I need to highlight that the hill to the apartment really is quite steep and difficult to walk up. We are two fairly active girls in our 20s and whilst it's doable, we did struggle. If you have any kind of physical limitations, please consider this.
- The neighbours above the apartment, woke us up daily around 3/4am with loud talking and what sounded like the moving of furniture which seemed to last around an hour. I'm not sure if they live there permanently or if they were also guests, but our sleep was disrupted consistently.
- There are currently construction works going on around the apartment which start around 8am. If you're a light sleeper and fancy a bit of a lie in, you may not get what you're looking for.
