This was one the best Airbnb flats I’ve ever stayed in. Amazing location in Baixa, walking distance to absolutely everything. Less than 10 min to Alfama, Chiado, Barrio Alto… Within 5 min walking distance to beautiful coffee shops and breakfast places. We ended up walking in the entire city but you can also take tram or metro. Tram to Belem is straight from in front of the Arco which takes around 30 mins!
I love old buildings with modern interior. This way you stay in a building with character but free from maintenance problems. This building was done in a way that the original facade was kept but entire interior was refurbished. So we had no issues with plumbing etc. Sound insulation was amazing. You close the windows and you hear absolutely nothing!
My favourite part was the view of the yellow building from the windows. Every day waking up to that view was beautiful. Plus the view of the sea (or river? I never know!) This was my birthday getaway trip and staying in this place really made me feel spoiled!
The hosts are very professional. You do not need to meet anybody upon checkin, they give you clear instructions and it is very self explanatory afterwards. When we had questions, we contacted them either from here or via text, they always replied promptly.
Lastly, even though this place is close to everything, the street is not a busy party street or anything. So we had no issues with noises or disturbance. However yes, there is traffic noise but the sound insulation was great so we slept like babies in the night…
When we visit Lisbon again in future, I’m pretty sure we’d stay here again!
