The apartment in Chiado, Lisboa was beautiful - exactly as per the pictures. It was extremely clean and had all the amenities anyone could possibly need. We were welcomed by Mercedes a wonderful lady who was extremely helpful and attentive during our stay. The location of the apartment in Chiado is central, within walking distance of the centre of Lisbon.

Just a couple of things to note:

1- There is no air conditioning in the bedrooms (just the living room) Although there were units that looked like ac units in both bedrooms, they were not hooked up and Mercedes informed us they were not functional. As a result the rooms were extremely HOT for the first few days of our stay. ( the last days of our stay were rainy and cold so we just opened the windows). However, I would caution that if you are planning to stay in the apartment in the summer months it would be unbearable without the air conditioning in the bedrooms.

2- There is ALOT of construction on a building right across from the apartment. The workers start early and work all day until 6p. Be prepared to hear lots of construction noise during that time. Also the view from all the apartment windows is construction zone which is not attractive at all.

Despite the above the apartment is beautiful and in a perfect location and I would not hesitate to highly recommend to anyone travelling to Lisbon.
