The place is generally great, and the pictures (mostly) show it as it is. However, I offer these things for the future traveler:
Pros:
- Communication was super fast and the people we talked to and met were great
- There is a rooftop terrace
- Location is great
- It is two minutes from the best restaurant we went to in Portugal: Sr. Lisboa
- The bathroom is really nice
Cons:
- The bed sinks in the middle
- You can hear everything on the street and neighboring apartments; keep a fan on to drown out the noise
- One of the other apartments (I think it is the first floor) has some serious issues with hygiene, and the entire stairwell smells as foul as a dirty zoo - hold your nose going in and out. Fortunately, the smell does not exist in the apartment!
- There is no place to hang your clothes and no drawers to put them in - you must live out of your suitcase in this place
- This is a studio apartment, which in and of itself is not a con; however, if you were expecting a one-bedroom apartment, it might be
- Getting to the rooftop terrace means pulling down a retractable ladder from a hole in the ceiling and being careful not to scrape your back crawling out
You can absolutely be comfortable staying in this place, and it has its charms, for sure. I appreciate honest reviews and so offer mine thus. Personally, I would not stay here again.
