This flat is great if you’re only planning to staying a short time, but probably not for staying a long time or over the winter months (like we did). The main pro of the flat is its location - perfect for Principe Real, Bairro Alto, Chiado, and easy walking distance to Praca do Comercio. It also has a lovely view of the Botanical gardens from the main room. The problems with the flat come from staying longer. The living room is tiny, without a dining table, and the kitchen is also small with quite uncomfortable stools, so it’s not really suitable for eating or cooking meals at home. The windows are single glazed, which makes the flat quite cold in the winter, and also quite noisy: there’s often concerts and crowd noise from Avenida on one side, and car and nighttime noise from the busy street on the other. The floorboards need some TLC: some of the nails holding them down stick out just a tiny bit from the floor, which is not enough to hurt the feet but definitely enough to snag whatever you’re wearing - we stopped count of how many holes this made in our socks! Lastly we had to use quite a lot of electricity heating the flat in the winter, and the host threatened us immediately with cutting off electricity if we didn’t pay the whole bill, which is surprising as she’d been very pleasant until then. So if you’re here only for a short time and you’re focusing on location then it would be fine, otherwise I would probably not recommend.
