We stayed for 6 weeks and enjoyed our time, and would definitely recommend for a long or short stay.
Pros:
- The best thing about this flat is the location. We absolutely loved the area, the beautiful street and the restaurants nearby. Easy walking to all the sights of Lisbon.
- The wifi was great and fast for working remotely. There's no dedicated workspace but the dining room table was comfortable to work at.
- Spacious and bright flat with lots of light. Beautiful view and lovely balconies. Really nice big doors that open up onto the balconies from each bedroom and the kitchen and living room.
- Cleaning was provided once every week which was great and very thorough. Very clean flat.
- Bathroom was nice and shower was great. Great reliable hot water.
- Lots of storage space in bathroom, bedrooms and living room.
Cons:
- Soundproofing is a problem in all old buildings, so this isn't something the host can improve but we could clearly hear the neighbours upstairs having conversations and playing loud music.
- The bathroom has a persistent smell - but, again, this is because it's an old building and isn't the host's fault. We bought an air freshener that seemed to help.
- The double bed mattress needs replacing, as it squeaked incredibly loudly when just rolling over at night and made it hard to sleep. But we got used to it after a while.
- The listing says a hairdryer and shampoo are provided but they were not. Kitchen was moderately well equipped, missing things like a grater, tongs etc. but good enough to cook a meal.
