simply loved the interiors. No surprise why this apartment has won a European design award. It is straight out of an interiors design book. High ceilings, tall windows, very modern yet retained the old charm. Stunning.
The location COULD NOT BE BETTER. In the heart of Lisbon (Chiado) and yet so calm and quiet.
There were a couple of minor things which I am sure can be fixed very quickly. I would have loved it if the kitchen was stocked better. I found 4 sets of serving plates, cutlery set, drinking glasses-less. I think there should be a dozen of each at least, espcially if two couples or a family with kids stay in this apartment. Normally these things are generously provided.
I couldn't find black pepper. Salt was there. There was no cooking oil. These are very small things but nice gestures to make the guest feel at home and more importantly make it convenient.
I found the working space in the kitchen limited. If I put the water kettle then there was little space to keep the toaster or the plates. I don't know how this feature can be improved.
I could not work the cooking hob. The owner could not help either over the phone. She was new to the appliance as well. She asked me to refer to the instruction manual but I couldn't find one for the hob. It was a bit annoying but eventually, I figured it out.
Overall the experience was amazing. I would go back and recommend it to my friends for sure.
