My mom and stayed here for 4 nights and really enjoyed our stay. We loved that the building was modern and had two very fast elevators, very convenient when you have heavy luggage or are traveling with someone with mobility issues. The apartment’s location could not be better, it is situated in the heart of Barrio Alto, you could easily walk to hundreds of restaurants in the area, and there is a small súper market close by— that being said, everything is situated on hills in Lisbon so be prepared to hike.. the good news is that Ubers are very cheap and we frequently took them to avoid the deadly walks to the sites, we never paid more than 10 euros. As others mentioned, the area is well known for bars and nightlife so if you are a light sleeper, this may not be the place for you. Locals and tourists alike mingle until 3am and it gets very noisy, so even with all windows closed, expect to hear the party going on outside.
The flat itself has lots of natural light, and the beds were very comfy. We were both very happy with the space, and the internet was very fast (good for remote working). The host was super attentive, communicative and overall very helpful.
The only downside to this apartment is that the kitchen is pretty barren, so it was difficult for us to make breakfast or have a quick lunch if you’re staying longer and don’t want to eat out all the time. There are pots and pans provided but no salt, sugar, oil, coffee or basically any of the basic necessities. Would have been 5 stars if the kitchen had been more stocked.
Overall, we had a great stay here at Gonzalo’s and would recommend the place for anyone looking to stay in the city center.
