The apartment is gorgeous and we felt at home from the moment we arrived (Andre was there to greet us on arrival). The apartment is spacious with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Most importantly, the bed is very comfortable (we found) and a good size. The decor is lovely and has some really lovely touches that make the space lovely to be in. The wifi is great.
The apartment is situated about a km from what might be considered the main 'tourist centre' of Lisbon and it is situated on quite a steep hill. We visited during the hottest temperatures (44 degrees!) that Lisbon has ever had and therefore found that we used Uber a lot as walking was too challenging. Had this not been the case, I think that the walking would have been really enjoyable and the distance from the centre, Barrio Alto, Alfama etc is no problem. The apartment is in a traditional neighbourhood and it is lovely to see that side of the city. Again, because of the extreme heat the apartment was very warm and there are two fans that we used to try and keep us cool at night. This, of course, would have been the same for any property without air con.
Things to consider:
The bathroom space is quite tight.
Steep stairs to the apartment in the building.
On a number of nights, a rubbish collection lorry comes down the street that the apartment is on. It's very noisy and could be an issue if you are a light sleeper.
An iron is available but the ironing board is very small.
Overall, a really pleasant stay and I would definitely recommend. Thank you Andre.
