This apartment was a beautiful place to call home for two months in Lisbon. The surrounding neighbourhood was full of interesting shops, great restaurants and coffee, green spaces and was more pleasant overall than the super touristy area down the hill.
The bedrooms were all spacious with comfortable beds. The kitchen was a bit small, but had all the necessary accessories to cook (pots and pans, cutlery, a full set of dishes, salad spinner, coffee maker etc).
This is not the first apartment I had booked. Due to construction circumstances outside of Albertino's control, we were moved to this apartment on our third day. The construction issue happened in the middle of the night. Albertino responded to my message about it immediately (at 2AM!) and did his best to rectify the situation ASAP.
Because of this issue, the apartment we ended up staying in was scheduled to start renovations and our group moved in instead. The bathrooms were a bit old for our stay, but I believe we were going to be the last group to use them before a renovation.
Over two months I had a lot of communication with Alberto and his support staff. They always had fast response times and did their best to help us with any issues (extra towels for guests etc).
We ran into an issue with rides to a from the airport. Two times the drivers Albertino had arranged did not show up. Both times we got in city cabs and it worked out fine. This was not Albertino's fault as I believe he simply booked them for us through a third party driver service. Just beware to have a back up plan for rides (uber or other taxi apps seem to be more reliable and cheaper).
For cheaper coffee and groceries head towards the Rato neighbourhood nearby. For fabulous views find the look out down the hill a bit.
Thank you Albertino and team for a fabulous two months, unforgettable!
