Andre was timely in our agreed meeting time and explained to us the local area and suggested some nice places to go. The apartment was centrally located to buses/metro/train station and it was easy to visit surrounding areas outside of Lisbon (Cascais, Sintra, Estoril, etc.).

Martin was accessible through email, and responded with inquiries/issues quickly.

The apartment was well equipped with things needed for an extended stay. There is a small grocery in the Figuera Square within minutes of the apartment. There is a more substantial grocery within 15/20 minutes away if needed. The washer dryer did not perform well (it did not dry clothes sufficiently), but there was a clothes line right off the balcony. Nonetheless, the washer/dryer should probably be replaced.

The building is old, and noise can be an issue with those who are light sleepers. The occupant above seemed to enjoy calisthenics during late hours and a dog was clearly present that was very active. We understood, however, that the building was not going to be soundproof. Remember that you are in a downtown location, in a building that is hundreds of years old.

Baixa is flat and easily walkable (not like Alfama with its steep hills) with several restaurants/cafes close by. The cafe downstairs on the corner was wi-fi equipped and the owner was wonderful. It was a great place to plan your day while enjoying an espresso!

The apartment itself was nicely laid out, though one of the bedrooms was only accessible through another bedroom. Great for families with children or for close friends. The water pressure was great, though be careful about showering while others are using hot water. Lol.

I wouldn't mind staying at this location again or referring it to other first timers to Lisboa.

Feel free to contact me should you have any other questions about this apartment.
