Madragoa is the hippest and absolute cutest of all the neighborhoods I’ve stayed in while visiting Lisboa! This apartment is in the ideal location, just steps away from coffee, brunch and dinner spots as well as the locals favorite bars and cocktail clubs. It’s very close to all the tourist attractions on foot and it’s a pretty cheap taxi to get to and from the airport. Plus it’s near to train and bus stops that head out of the city towards sintra and the southern beach towns.
The hosts were very helpful in providing us local’s tips for the area as well as a rundown of the space. They also came to replace a space heater that was being faulty. Overall super nice and friendly as well.
As other reviews have mentioned, the house does have a slight mold smell that is strongest near the bathroom/washer. Also there is no window in the second bedroom which I somehow missed upon booking, so it might work best for parents with a child or a couple but not as well for a group of adults. It was missing homey touches and warmth (the fluorescent light in the kitchen is crazy) and the shower easily floods since it doesn’t have a door but for the price I’d say it’s still a steal.
100% would recommend to anyone looking for a central place to rest in the best neighborhood in central Lisboa.
