This is a fairly new listing and we booked without any reviews to guide us—a risk we are glad we took. When writing a review, I think to myself, “Is this a place that I could live in for more than a few days and be happy? And if so, what would I change?”
In this case, yes we would, and I would only suggest a few minor changes. We were four adults and there was plenty of room. The ambience is charming. The mixture of modern decor with the “old bones” is lovely. The apartment has all the conveniences for a comfortable stay—a roomy bathroom (awesome shower head!), washing machine, dishwasher, and blessed air conditioner. The beds are firm but comfy and just need a bit of an upgrade on pillows, however we travel with our own pillows so were not too put out. The neighbourhood of Príncipe Real is a real gem and well worth the climb at the end of the day. The view down the hill from the balcony is lovely; unfortunately the pigeons also enjoy it. We enjoyed watching the transformation of a new restaurant across the street (Boubou) and were sorry we left before it opened. We enjoyed our stay here very much. We will finish our one month Portugal adventure with 3 more nights in Lisbon, but in a different neighbourhood. I think I would’ve like instead to return to this apartment.
