My husband and I stayed here for two months during the winter. Overall it worked, but there are a few things to note. As one reviewer before stated, the stairs are very very steep and narrow. This is an old building and that cannot be helped, but it's good for travelers to know. Another old building quirk is that you cannot run the space heater and the washer (or the electric kettle) at the same or the electricity will go out and you'll have to flip the breaker back on - we had to do this several times. Also, and this is possibly the most bothersome thing, the night we arrived, the shower drain was so clogged that the water overflowed onto the bathroom floor. When we told Jose, he said we could use a plunger that was available, but the floor was already filled with water which was left to us to clean. Overall, if you are staying in Lisbon for a night or two, this apartment will work, but I don't recommend it for longer stays.
