Clean, tastefully decorated apartment with nice vintage touches. This is a good size unit for a solo traveller or a couple, any more guests than that would be cramped in my opinion.
The kitchen is modern and fully equipped with SMEG appliances and a Nespresso. Nespresso pods were provided and a much appreciated touch. We also took the opportunity to do some laundry with the provided laundry pods, again much appreciated. We weren’t clear which was dispenser was hand soap and which was dish detergent at the kitchen sink. The bathroom is compact but does its job though could use some towel or wall hangers. The living space and dining room are compact and mostly where we stored our belongings and got organized. The bedroom is located off the street so can be a bit noisy until 22h-24h, especially with windows open. Bedroom could use better pillows, too. Beware this unit does not have AC nor fans. We visited in early October so the weather was moderate, but I’m not sure how this unit would be in the summer time. We asked for a fan for comfort’s sake but never got one.
Location wise, the nearest metro station is Intendente, which is a 7 min walk. Uber to Baixa Chiado is about 5€ or 15 mins. This is a more residential area outside of central Lisbon so it’s quieter, which we preferred, but it is also a bit of a hilly walk, 25-30 mins, to central. The neighbourhood has an older, grungey feel with graffiti lining the street walls so my first impression of the area was that it was sketchy, but we did not encounter any issues during our stay. Lidl is just a few minutes walk away, very convenient.
Catarina received us and was responsive and accommodating throughout our pre-arrival. We were delayed and she was very flexible in meeting us later in the day. During our stay, I was in contact with Francisco for a couple of things and he was responsive as well.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Obrigada.
