This spacious apartment is elegant, beautiful, and a pleasure to live in. Even though we stayed during a very hot week in Lisbon, I was surprised that we did not need air conditioning, as the building has sufficient thermal mass to keep us cool. The Chiado district is ideal - trendy, happening, full of interesting bookstores, antique shops, cafe's restaurants, bars, as well as being central to other parts of the city via trams, trains and buses.
When we first arrived we found that the fan and bidet were not working, but our lovely hosts quickly came by and fixed them. Even though the apartment was on a busy street, noise was not an issue, so long as all the windows were shut. This was the one thing that was unfortunate for us - that we couldn't open the windows at night.
