We spent one week in João E Susana's apartment, which is situated in a very good place, especially if one is attending an event in the Lisbon Congress Centre. The river shore with a fantastic view on the bridge was just at a few minutes’ walk and several public transportation options were available so the more central spots in Lisbon could be reached in about 15-30 minutes by tram or bus. It was a good starting point to reach the ocean shores as well. Susana was always eager to help us whatever question we had and the check-in/check-out into the apartment went smoothly.
The place looked just as in the pictures, it was nicely furnished, the spacious rooms were very comfortable for 4 guests, and the expandable couch in the living room could fit 1-2 more guests if required. The place was equipped with everything listed in the description (toiletries, hairdryer, flatiron with desk, essential spices, coffee, detergent, two good quality towels per person, ...), everything was very clean, and despite the lack of air conditioning it was not too hot in the apartment during our stay, while having daily temperatures around 30-38°C and below 23°C at night. We used the automatic blinds to keep the apartment chilled during the day and a good ventilator was available in each room. But no doubt, that air conditioning would make the apartment even more comfortable. Even though the soundproofing of the windows was very good, when the windows are open the noise can be disturbing for certain people coming from quiet areas, such as the garbage truck arriving after midnight, the quite intensive bridge rumble, the airplanes flying at low altitude, but this is something common in most places in Lisbon.
To sum up, we had a wonderful week in the apartment, and it really felt like home. Thank you for everything! :)
