You can’t beat the convenient location of this apartment—just a few mins walk to train/metro/streetcar, Time Out Lisbon, mini mercado, and many, many restaurants & bars.
Elevator for this 3rd floor unit is a definite plus (or the stairs are a good workout), and you can exit onto 2 different street levels, depending on if you’re going up town or down to the waterfront.
Unit is beautifully decorated and the living/dining furniture was comfortable for 2 couples. TV is great and was signed into Netflix during our stay. A nice cross breeze cooled the unit with all the windows open so we never had to use the A/C, even in late August and with windows closed at night (see note about noise below).
Kitchen has the essentials and hosts provided a small bag of bath and kitchen amenities: dish soap, 3 dishwasher tablets, sponge and cloth, plus hand/bath soaps and hair care products (no laundry detergent so you’ll need to get/bring that yourself.)
Hosts also provided 4 coffee pods, sugar packets, 2 reusable glass bottles of filtered water, and a packet of homemade cookies—nice touch!
Check-in & out was very easy and Carlos provided good info about the surrounding area.
The only downsides were:
- evening/late night noise: unit is 5 floors above the street but it’s a very popular one at night (one block east of Pink Street). Fortunately the bedrooms are opposite the noisy side, closing the windows and shutters dampens most of the noise, and there are A/C units in each bedroom and the main living space.
- stairs to upper bedroom are very cool & purposely designed to take up less horizontal space, but just be aware they require some careful foot placement and attention. They would be tricky for small children, elderly, or anyone uncomfortable climbing steep/uneven steps (or, say, if you’re overly inebriated after a lovely evening of tapas & vinho).
All in all, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this unit for 1-4 people looking to explore Lisbon!
