Elisabete’s place is a modernized and well-equipped 2-bedroom apartment with great views of Lisbon. Below are its upsides and downsides.
The upsides:
- well-stocked and well-equipped
- modern furniture and appliances
- welcome treats (coffee, tea, sweets)
- a comfy nook with panoramic views of the city
- washing machine with dryer functionality
- old building charme (wooden floors and high ceilings)
- walking distance to all tourist spots
- easy contactless check-in
The downsides:
- 5th floor without elevator
- you need to walk uphill to get to the building (this also makes the stay more adventurous)
- a bit shady neighborhood closer to the metro station
- very thin walls — you can hear neighbors walking upstairs (especially if it’s at night)
- unpleasant smell from the bathroom, most likely due to old pipes (goes away after proper and continuous airing)
- inclined bedroom floors
- one needs to be careful with the big shower head, as water gets outside of the shower stall on the floor
Overall, we (a group of 3) had a nice experience and enjoyed our stay in Lisbon.
