This charming AirBNB is in the heart of Cais do Sodre. What was once the famed red-light district is now transitioning into bars and restaurants geared towards a more youthful crowd. This building appears to be largely AirBNB units, some operated by the same central management group.
When checking in we were messaged by the management company on behalf of the owners, and asked what time we'd be arriving. Unfortunately they also had two other check-ins that day, so we needed to wait 40 minutes. Thankfully we had our rental car and an hour to spare before needing to return it, so we waited for the host's affiliate to check us into the apartment.
It was mostly well appointed. We received a small welcome bag from the company, containing a few dishwasher tablets, hotel sized bottles of soap, some coffee pods, and a few trash bags. Luckily there's a Preco market conveniently five minutes walk for replenishing the supplies.
The hosts messaged us after our first night, kindly inquiring into our stay and asking if we needed anything. We did ask if there were some other kitchen supplies (cutting board, etc), but unfortunately never heard back from them (until it was the night before checkout asking when we would be departing).
The unit itself is stationed on the north side of the building, away from the wild nightlife rampant out the back door. As such, it was relatively quiet, and the windows and A/C allow for even quieter evenings as desired. The washing machine was a very nice amenity to have on our longer stay, especially after procuring our own minimally scented detergent.
