Pedro was a great host. He met us on arrival and efficiently explained everything we needed to know about the apartment, making the checking in process very easy. We were able to leave our luggage at the apartment as we arrived into Lisbon quite early, and pick up our keys before heading out for the day. When we returned after 3pm the apartment was ready for us. Clean and enough basic supplies for our two night stay. The apartment is totally fit for purpose. Decent sized bedrooms with fans (as there is no AC). Decent Wi-Fi, kitchen supplies and 2 bathrooms with great showers, making it a great space for medium to larger groups with or without kids. Extra beds pull out on trundles under the main beds.
The only issue we had, which was not specific to the apartment but more the city’s drainage system, was the smell in the kitchen. Unavoidably the drains do make the kitchen smell quite bad which was perhaps a little off putting when wanting to use the space. The entrance way to the apartment block is not the nicest but there is a lift as well as stairs to get to it. The outside noise from one of the bedrooms was quite loud at night but this is totally blocked out when you close the double glazed windows. Great location - a 5 mins walk from the closest metro station and a great breakfast spot (Zenith Cafe) a minutes walk away. All in all a nice experience. Thanks Pedro.
