We stayed in this apartment for two months. Its location is truly ideal. Steps away from the plaza where busy and popular Chiado and Bairo Alto meet, but on a quiet street. Perfect location for walking to the Rossio station to go to Sintra and the Cais do Sodre ferry and metro station to visit Belem, Cascais, or take a ferry to Cacilhas. Praça do Comércio and the Time Out Market are also nearby. Tram 28 runs right down the street, and the underground metro is at the corner. Any closer to one and it would be further from another. The apartment is small, but it was more than adequate for the two of us, especially with the large balcony/deck with its retractable awning and wonderful views. It was also equipped with everything we needed and more.
Two special call-outs: First, the place is fresh and clean. Other places we have stayed at have been rated clean but end up being fairly worn and not so clean. The hosts clearly take pride in maintaining this apartment. And second, Diogo is an amazing host. His communications, follow-up, and little extras are professional and thoughtful.
We highly recommend this apartment. It’s location, cleanliness, views, and host combine to make this a terrific value.
