Xana is a very nice host and she was helpful in any situation when her support was needed. The area the apartment is located in is not spotless - there are uncared buildings and spaces here and there, but that is rather common for Lisbon in general. The apartment itself is pretty enjoyable, with all the essentials you would need for a short stay and two small balconies with a lovely view on Lisbon red rooftops and the National Pantheon’s dome. It also has an in-house parking on the 5th floor of the building. A welcome-in bottle of wine and a cake from the host was also a very nice touch.
The apartment concept in general would likely work fine for e.g. a young couple to stay over a weekend to enjoy the city, but for our specific setup with two kids onboard it clearly had a few drawbacks. To mention a few, the kitchen was rather sparsely equipped for cooking at home or all the door-handles were extremely creaky, so you wouldn’t be able to silently open or close any door not waking up sleeping children. There was a handful of other shortcomings but they were rather small or might be even inappreciable for the groups/families with a different people setup.
