The apartment is perfect for a solo traveler. It’s very small, but it has everything that is needed and if you plan to spent most of your time outside – as I did – it works just great as a place where you can shower and get some sleep. Even for a longer stay – I was there for 10 days. The bathroom is pretty spacious and there’s a sufficient closet space so that you can unload your suitcase. Wifi is working well, there is a coffee machine (with a welcome coffee capsule – and a pastry!), space to use a laptop and quite well-stocked kitchen annex (however with very little counter space, so I wouldn’t plan to do much cooking).
It’s close to the metro station (even 2 of them), bus & tram stops and a walking distance from Alfama district. At the same time, it is very quiet here at night, so you can get a good night sleep. Around there are quite a lot of grocery stores, incl. Lidl, self-service laundry, coffee shops and restaurants.
On a minus side, the walls are extremely thin, so that you can hear other people’s comings and goings all hours of the day & night and the TV is hooked in a way that one would have to be probably in the bathroom to watch it in the right angle ;) I didn’t mind any of those, but thought worth mentioning as it might be important to some travelers.
Cláudia & José were great hosts. They were reachable at all times, shared some cool tips about things to see in Lisbon and accommodated earlier check-in for me. My stay here was great, the apartment was all I expected and would definitely stay here again! :)
