My wife and I stayed here with my in laws.
We were picked up from the airport and taken to the apartment. This wasn’t booked but it worked out most convenient and something to be considered if you’re flying in to Lisbon (Eur24 cash charge paid directly to the driver).
The apartment is a good size with plenty of amenities.
The key is sticky so you need to persevere with it to get the communal door open. There’s only one which was tricky when both couples wanted to do different things so bear this in mind.
Located in a quiet street but in a good location with plenty of restaurants, wine bars etc to go to. The brilliant 28 tram is a mere 5 minute walk away. There's also a good mini market store nearby, again, 5 minute walk.
Wifi was fast and consistent. TV had plenty of channels including English movie, news, documentary channels etc.
Shower was hot with great pressure. The en-suite’s shower has a glass door which is too low, therefore the water splashes on to the floor. It’s not the most practical arrangement that you can only have a quick shower to prevent the water going everywhere! The main bathroom doesn’t have this issue thanks to a full height shower curtain.
However, the reason I’ve given it 3 stars is because of two big issues. One, the beds we found to be about the least comfortable we’ve ever slept on – yes, really. It’s a basic mattress and absolutely rock hard, so much so we left exhausted after little in the way of sleep. We ended up sleeping on the couch on the second and final night. I feel this needs to be addressed – we have a firm mattress at home but this was rock hard like sleeping on the floor.
Secondly, the sound insulation, or rather, lack thereof. You can hear just about everything from the other bedroom despite the doors being closed. Unfortunately for us, there was a lot of partying going on until 3am for the 3 days we stayed and it sounded as if the party-goers were right outside on the veranda. We live in a very central area in a major city with plenty of noise and buzz going on but we're never bothered about it since we can’t hear it.
Sadly, this wasn’t the most auspicious of starts to what was a great 2 week trip around Portugal with the in-laws. We all looked forward to checking out and moving on. I feel the points I’ve raised should really be looked into and addressed.
