The apartment is nice and clean, beautifully designed. I particularly liked the little terrace on the roof. Really hospitable hosts, very friendly and helpful.
However, there are a few things to take into account before booking.
- The location is right in the center: 5 minutes to Rossini square, 10 minutes to Praça do Commercio. However that’s a migrants’ district. People are sleeping etc right at Mortim Moniz square and in the street. It didn’t really feel safe.
- There is no car access to the house. If you’re going by taxi — go to Martim Moniz sq.
- No lift in the building, so it may be uncomfortable with kids or luggage — but that’s mentioned in the description.
- In winter it’s cold in the apartment, the A/C helps just a little.
- Really uncomfortable bed(( For me that was the biggest drawback after the location. In fact that’s two beds placed next to each other((( And the mattress is extremely soft(((
But overall that was a really nice stay thanks to the great hosts.
