This apartment was 50m away from the castle entrance. A great part of the city to stay. The views were fantastic and as they say pretty much 360 degrees. The view is better than most in the city I’d say. The apartment was spacious and a little tired as you would expect for an old building.
There were quirks with the small lift with 2 walls - not 4! A few keys to figure out entering the place was pretty simple.
It is a short walk on cobblestones to get to the apartment so the wheels on your bag will take a beating. Best to carry if you can.
Lisbon is walkable so whilst the apartment is at the top of s hill it is better to walk where you can. Tuk tuk prices are pretty steep. We did catch an Uber from the city to about 300m from the apartment for 3 euro!
There was a smell in the bathroom which made for an uncomfortable stay however there were only 2 of us so we kept out of this bathroom. Other guests have commented on this in the past so I assume it is an ongoing issue. It would make for one couples stay not so good I think.
With an old building like this some of the power outlets don’t work and with aircon going we were warned about the fuses blowing. We fixed this in the dark after looking under the stairs and hoping the switch was the correct one. Some labels in English would be handy.
All in all for the 2 of us it was a nice place that we would return to if they can solve the odour issue. The views are great and there are some lovely restaurants / bars in a 100m radius.
TripAdvisor isn’t always accurate with regard to restaurants so my advice is to check out menus and popularity by window shopping first.
