This was our 2nd stay at Chiado Studios - we had Studio II on the first part of our Portugal trip and Studio I on the 2nd part (which is what this review is for).
I love this apartment. I will give it my highest compliment - I would not only rent it again, I could see it as a place I'd actually live in. The space relatively small, but it is hugely functional and worked well for the 2 of us. It has a great compact kitchen with charming brink work exposed over it. The balcony is functional and easy to access. It has a big couch that is comfortable to hang out on. The bedroom is fully separated with a door and has its own window (and the bed is comfortable and a good size, a key item to consider in Europe). The bathroom is pretty and also has its own window. A great advantage of this space is that it wraps around the corner of the building, so there is a lot of light and good airflow with the windows open.
The location is simply outstanding - steps from Chiado (Lisbon's main shopping district), there's a couple markets nearby, and the Barrio Alto is easily accessed with all of it's restaurants and bars. I've been to Portugal twice in the past two years, and Chiado is totally the place you want to be. You just walk out your door and you are there! Lisbon is small, so you can walk or take transit (cab, uber, tram, bus) and be in most of the major places in Lisbon in short order.
Service and responsiveness is outstanding and professional. I never had to wait long to have a question answered. Additionally there are the nice little extras. They provide a mobile WiFi you can carry around and link your phone to which I've never seen before. This is great if you don't have mobile access in Portugal (note, we didn't use it as our phones roamed in Portugal). What a nice perk though. Nespresso coffee was provided, which is again just a nice little perk - you start your morning and can have a delicious espresso right there.
Obviously we had a great time. I was sad to leave this apartment and would totally stay again. Thanks for a great stay.
