Patricia’s apartment is situated perfectly in the center of Bairro Alto. It provides convenient quick access to nearly all areas of interest. The neighborhood itself is full of quirky restaurants, convenience stores, and other lojas - it got character.
The apartment was very clean, the style and decor - uncluttered and essential, no trinkets that got in the way. At the same time, I was pleasantly surprised, it was well-equipped for a longer stay (2weeks for us), meaning we had all the necessary equipment and utensils for cooking, doing laundry (appreciated having a combined washer-dryer), and somewhat rare for Lisbon - good A/C which allowed to maintain comfy air temperature despite changing prickly winter weather.
The host was easy to reach via WhatsApp for check-in and for scheduling of cleaning. I arrived on Xmas Eve at 9 pm when all normal people were enjoying their holiday dinner, yet, when I momentarily lapsed and forgot that “2nd floor” in Portugal means 3rd floor (it goes, ground floor, first, second…), I messaged Patricia and she responded helpfully immediately despite the time of the evening on the biggest holiday night of the year.
I would definitely recommend this place for those who prefer clean simple style lodging and do not want to be in the middle of touristy noise, yet very close to all points of interest in the city.
