Lovely cosy flat in Santa Catarina. Very close to the city, restaurants and the nightlife district – but not too close, since this street is pretty quiet. The apartment is small but very homely. You will find everything you need. In case you miss anything, Prima will take perfect care of you. She is very kind and helpful in every situation.
We can very much recommend to stay here.
There are a few things you need to be aware of:
- The apartment is near a viewpoint (= a hill). So you have to walk uphill.
- But there is a trick to avoid going up: If you GOING TO the apartment, you have to come from Baixa-Chiado and if you GOING AWAY from the apartment you have to go down to Cais do Sodré.
- The apartment is a little smaller than the pictures look like. It is fine, but you should know that there is only room for your luggage and clothes on the floor of the living room. But it was no problem for us.
- The bed is not very big (normal 1,40/1,60 I guess) and there is only one big blanket for 2 people. It is a little tricky if you are used to separate blankets, but we could handle it for the few days.
- There is no window in the bedroom, but windows on both ends of the apartment so that air circulation is possible.
- The other apartments in the house (2 others) are also airbnb flats – and the walls are very thin. You can sometimes even hear people snore in the other apartments. But since the street itself is very quiet there is noise problem if the other airbnb-tenants are quiet people.
If you are aware of those things and are okay with it (remember the price is very good!), than you will have a wonderful time at Prima's lovely place.
