The advantage of the this apartment in Lisbon is for sure its location. it is located so close to main squares and streets. All trams and buses just at the corner, so it is easy to get everywhere. Downstairs on ground floor there is café/restaurant where one can have breakfast / lunch so it is also big plus. We arrived late after midnight and Thiago waited for us and helped with luggage. Great thank to him because if you travel with kids or with aged people it is really hard to go upstairs on 3th floor with narrow steep stairs ( especially with heavy luggage) as no elevator for sure as the building from 18th century. I would say it is really important question. But we knew about that so ok. But the most important is the issue with electricity in the apartment. it really needs to be repaired totally and fixed. as the flat has not central heating, we were offered heaters ( great thank to Teresa) but the electricity all the time cut down. you switch on electro teapot suddenly the light cut down everywhere. you switch on light or laptop the electricity begins to go crazy again. it may happen you are in shower, your kid switched on teapot in kitchen and in a second you are wet in shower in darkness and asks for help. only 1 electro device can work at one time. 3-4 times per evening we switched on electricity after crushing down in electro block which is in corridor. it is not only the matter of comfort but safety and security. maybe it is normal for all old buildings built centuries ago but for us it was unusual and not ok as we traveled with small kids.
Apart this topic all was good, the view in the balcony is really fascinating, no noise in the street, close to the castle and big supermarket.
