The building is beautiful. We really enjoyed the location of the property. Very easy walks to both Alfama district and Baixa Chiado. A little bit longer walk to Pink Street and Time Out Market (however, we did try doing that on a very hot day).
But we do think there are a few things that need attention:
1. The bathrooms are not well set up. Drainage is not adequate, shelves missing in shower (easy thing to fix), master bathroom door would not close all the way.
2. No central AC is fine, but more fans need to set up and in each room. We were not sure we could leave the windows and doors open while we were out of the apartment. It was very difficult to come back to a place that’s substantially hotter than outside. I don’t know if it was the heatwave.
3. Freezer is minimally functional and doesn’t make ice (so you have to buy it).
4. The second bedroom is not functional because the bed is too big. But we mostly used it as our luggage room (because we had a lot of luggage unfortunately).
