This is a lovely apartment in a wonderful neighborhood of Lisbon. The design and decoration is very special and clearly created with so much care. I appreciated all the small touches and the way the apartment is laid out with supplies. The bedroom is just beautiful. It’s rare to have an airbnb feel so homey.
I worked from here for four days and loved walking up to the main avenue for shopping and lunch. There are wonderful shops just a few steps away, wine stores, restaurants, a park, even the Natural History museum. Estela park is a close in the next neighborhood as is Barrio Alto. It’s the best of all worlds. The hills are a beast but it’s worth it!
My biggest suggestion is that after all of the love and work that clearly went into creating this place, there were small things that affected the experience. Only having one towel as a woman is very difficult— and using a wet towel some days for the second shower wasn’t lovely. I was given two coffee pods for a four day stay and asking for more it was clear that one towel and two coffees is what was allowed to be provided. I bought my own sugar and milk and basics to have.
This seemed like a business decision because this apartment is part of an owner group that has many around the city.
If I were to stay here again I would ask upfront for these amenities before I booked. Also know that this is not an apartment where you will meet a local owner or have an experience around bonding with your host.
The staff— Marcelo and Antonio— were incredibly kind and made the stay even better with their willingness to help. I gave the better rating because of them even though these mentioned things did affect my experience.
I would stay in the apartment again and loved the area. It’s beautifully designed and a perfect launching spot for Lisboa.
