I had a great stay at Filipa’s place! It’s very clean and looks as described, if not better! I was a little worried since the ad says smoking is allowed, but there was no trace of cigarette smell. There were several nice extra touches, such as a towel warmer in the bathroom and space heaters both upstairs and downstairs. Filipa also left me a bag of coffee (though I never did figure out how to use the espresso machine and there were no instructions provided; they would be a nice addition, as we weren’t able to communicate well enough for her to explain it to me by text), and best of all, she left me two pastéis de nata as a welcome! There is a washer in the unit (no dryer) and a dishwasher, as well as all of the other amenities advertised, but as someone who tends to read the reviews more carefully than I read the ad, these were a pleasant surprise to me! The shower has a nice rain shower head with good pressure and plenty of hot water. One thing to be aware of is that there’s no drawers to put clothes in and only 8 hangers on a bar in the bedroom, so you won’t be able to unpack much. There’s tons of space overall though — way more than I needed as a solo traveler. The bed was comfortable, with plenty of blankets for the chilly weather I got, and the apartment is set way back off the street so there’s no street noise at all. I did note that the gates from street to courtyard and courtyard to building were never locked, just my apartment door was, but the neighborhood felt safe albeit very quiet (I only had a chance to walk around after dark and on a Sunday, so perhaps it perks up during the day/week? The other reviews seem to indicate so). It’s just around the corner from the Museo Casa Amelia Rodrigues. I walked everywhere from there, though it was a good 15-20 minutes over some hills to my destinations. Do be warned that the steps up to the apartment and those to the bedroom are very steep, especially when carrying a suitcase. Overall a great stay and I would recommend this apartment to friends!
