Amazing location, waterfront in the historic area, a short stroll to Praça do Comércio (where we met Pedro from TukTukMeTours on Instagram/Tuktukme on FB, who showed us around the city - highly recommend booking a tour with him) and Alfama, so lots of bars and restaurants nearby. Basilio is a great brunch spot on the same street, and there’s a small shop opposite. The apartment is beautiful, so light and modern but with original looking features such as the ceiling rose and shutters. It was lovely throwing open the balcony doors and watching the world go by, and cruise ships coming in. We slept great, with the doors and shutters closed it was quiet and black-out. The air-conditioning is wonderful as you can control each bedroom and the lounge separately, my boyfriend found it a bit noisy and wore earplugs. The host very kindly allowed us an earlier check in and a later check out - we were lucky that no guest was checking in after us - which we really appreciated.
There were a few issues but the host was quick to communicate and resolve them. The place wasn’t cleaned thoroughly, things hadn’t been restocked, the cleaner came into our apartment instead of next door on one of the days, as it’s a key code entry system so you can’t secure it from inside. That being said, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend it.
