The location of this place is fantastic. Half a block away is the best natas in Lisbon (in my eyes...or mouth). Outside of the natas place is the metro and another block away is the train station. There is a very busy bus station as well right outside the unit, including the Aerobus, which is an airport transport bus. Very convenient, however, I never took advantage of the transportation (took the train once) as I simply walked everywhere.
The unit is a small studio, and very clean and bright. The washer/dryer was awesome and handy for a longer trip, and is shockingly quiet. It is in a cabinet inside the bathroom, and with the cabinet door closed and bathroom door OPEN, you can hardly hear the washing machine/dryer running. It is an amazing little thing.
The studio apartment is also VERY quiet despite being so central on a busy boulevard because the unit faces the other side of the building, not the street. If you’re looking for the small patio table and chair in the pictures, don’t, because they are no longer there.
Check-in had a bit of a hiccup but it did not alter the enjoyment of my stay. The host’s representative, Ricardo, was late. I had to wait for 30 minutes on the sidewalk before the host or any representatives replied to me, only to find out, upon meeting him, I actually saw him walk quickly into the building earlier but he never looked around for someone with luggage waiting on the street! And he was not friendly at all. No smile, no help with luggage, as if it was my fault for being late. Also, toilet paper was out so I had to wait another hour or so before Ricardo returned with more because he had to check in other clients at other units. To be fair though, he did offer restaurant recommendations later on when I asked for some.
Overall a great place to stay. Would have been better without the check-in hiccup. But great place!
