I have no hesitation recommending this apartment. We had some initial confusion as we hadn’t read the joining instructions that stated (on the assumptive) that the concierge (Silvia) would pick us up from the airport for a €25 fee. We had made our own way by taxi €15 and eventually caught up with Silvia at the apartment. Our taxi driver couldn’t find the apartment’s precise location and I would recommend you take the pick up option if you get it. Silvia was friendly and helpful even though it was gone midnight. She was also available on her mobile for the whole of our stay. The apartment and neighbourhood are characterful and provided a proper taste of central Lisbon and comfortable base for our stay; walking distance of the city centre. Like most (old) character properties a few practicalities are compromised for the charm, such as bathrooms are a bit squeezed, hot water for showers has to be used sparingly (although I understand this is usual in Lisbon) and the upper level is by narrow wooden stairs best suited to the sure footed. The apartment is ideal in my view for two people who want something characterful in a character neighbourhood close to the city centre (but quiet) as an alternative to a hotel room.
