A unique stay in a great location, unfortunately with a few issues.
Pros:
- Great location, right near the 28 tram and walking distance to the restaurant district
- Super quiet
- Amazing views over parts of the city and the harbour
- Funky design with a cute balcony
- Great wardrobe space
- Washing machine - a god send when on a longer trip
Cons:
- The stairs up to the apartment. Not really a con but it’s worth mentioning. A great leg workout!
- The bed, which I know is a personal preference, but we found it lumpy and much too soft
- The roof leaked over the stove, in the bathroom and in the hall (only minor in the final two areas) during the rain. After reading further reviews I can see that this was raised a year ago by other guests
- Some coffee pods for the coffee machine would have been a nice touch
- It’s hot - being an attic apartment it was very warm, regardless of the cool weather outside and the windows being open. There is no aircon and just one small fan
- Communication with the company managing it was poor. After raising our issues all we got was seemingly automated responses. I understand that fixing a leak during our stay isn’t practical/reasonable but as stated above, this doesn’t seem to be new to them (sadly I missed this in older reviews)
Overall it was a disappointing stay and we ended up cutting our Lisbon trip short and checking out a day early due to the issues (airbnb resolved it in the end).
If the couple of issues were resolved it would be a 5/5 stay
