This apartment is a great way to get a true Bairro Alto experience. A two level flat with modern amenities, yet maintains the old world charm of the city. As soon as you walk down the steps and open the door onto the street you are thrown into the romantic streets of Lisbon, and at night, the party scene of the neighborhood.
Despite the excitement going on on the streets below, the apartment is very quiet and a nice reprieve from a day of exploring the hilly city.
We traveled as two friends and each had our own rooms (and bathrooms!) for privacy and an open comfortable living space to share.
The beds, though small individually (one bedroom can be made a double) are very comfortable, and the bedrooms are spacious.
There are many added amenities you do not always expect to find, such as Air Con, a washing machine and Nespresso.
Jorge and Madalena were also very communicative and helpful to provide many tips and information on the surrounding areas, all within easy reach at the very centrally located apartment.
Yes--as others have mentioned, stairs are steep and the showers a bit cramped, but nothing that would be considered overly bothersome.
Overall, a wonderful space. The pictures and description are spot on, no surprises. We would certainly be back the next time around.
