Stylish, comfortable and great location for exploring Lisbon without a car. This is great value for a family of four given the location and quality. Being in the loft of the building, you would expect a dark space, but there are a lot of windows that can open with light and fresh air. The air-conditioning is a life-saver and quickly cools the flat down. Catarina gave good tips: the supermarket is around the corner, and the portugese bakery in the square is a winner!
We loved the fact that we could always end our day trips around Baixa-Chiado metro station and take the underground escalators to Largo de Camões saving a lot of uphill walking with the kids!
Yes, take Catarina's warning seriously, it is on the fifth floor, so getting your bags up there gives you a good work-out. We did not find the noise that loud, but visited during the week, I believe weekends could be another story... the same thing that gives the place the vibe, causes the noise. Comes with the territory. Last tip: ask Catarina to literally show you how the lock works on the building entrance door (locked at night), it requires the right combination of pull, squeeze and twist for the key to work!
