Cute and compact apartment, less than a minute walk from a Pingo Doce grocery store and close to the beautiful Jardim Guerra Junquiero next to the Basilica da Estrela. 10-20 min walk to different restaurants, cafes, and more bustling town areas, whereas this apartment is on a quiet street.
Downsides were that there were a lot of mosquitos in the apartment during my visit (I got badly bit overnight) and had to find my own solution to address this. As there is no A/C, the apartment can get a bit hot. Finally, communication with the host could have been smoother. I was directed to message a third party manager, and had some bumps in my check-in where I wasn’t given clear instructions on the check-in process so I was left outside to wait for a response for a while. Luckily, the cleaning staff helped me enter the building eventually.
