This is a wonderful little place if you will be exploring 80% of the time!
I came to Lisbon for a solo trip and stayed for 5 days. Upon arrival, I wasn’t greeted by the host and I had to collect keys from a restaurant owner across the street. I’m used to the generic lock-box method with the keys included, so this threw me a bit.
When I arrived, sadly the wi-fi was not working, but this was fixed within 2 hours after flagging it to the host (who is very responsive via WhatsApp). The connection was too-quality and I could stream Netflix/FaceTime my family.
The location is 10/10. Very close to Bairro Alto (central for bars and local restaurants). It’s also about a 10 minute walk from the train stations (Cais do Sodre and Santos) which takes you to the beaches and other sites like Belen, LX Factory etc.
As others have said, the road where this AirBnB is located is quite noisy due to the Tram that runs by and cars. However, if you’re a heavy sleeper (like me) then this shouldn’t be a problem.
Personally I would say this is an apartment for one person as it is quite small - and I’m a 5’3” little lady so there’s some perspective.
This place suited my needs as I only used it for sleeping and showering. Very well located to bakeries and groceries (I recommend the Chiado supermarket a 2 minute walk away). My plan was to cook but due to a broken floorboard by the sink and the small cooking area, and no basics like salt/pepper stocked, I ended up eating out for breakfast, lunch and dinner. BUT the area is really affordable and I’d recommend exploring the city & trying new food.
The flat was very clean and tidy, with towels provided and a blanket.
Although described as a balcony, you can really only stand here! I was planning to sit and read a book but right outside there are just bins & building blocks… so not much of a view.
I would say this listing is a little bit pricey for what it is, however, it’s homely and gives you a real taste of Lisbon!
