I had a nice stay in this flat. I liked the decoration, furniture, colours.
It’s not very far from Pastéis de Belém, so you have more chances to beat the queue in the morning and secure some nice pasteis :) It’s equally close to Mosteiros dos Jeronimos, which is quite handy if you are planning to visit it as well. There are a few grocery shops nearby, you’ll have to walk a bit further for the bigger ones like Continente, but it’s within 10-12 minutes on foot (careful, it’s Lisbon so it’s hilly!).
A few bus lines around with a bus stop right outside the flat, and the train isn’t very far. Uber felt also quite cheap so it can be an alternative.
The flat is quite small - probably feels a bit smaller in person than on photos, but I was travelling on my own so it was enough. The terrace is spacey though so it balances out when the weather is nice.
Nice touches I appreciated:
- a jar of pasta in the cupboard (I arrived late on the first day, it came in handy)
- 2 metal travel water bottles of 0.75L, already in the fridge and full, ready to go for your day trip
Check-in / check-out: super easy, self check-in with a key box on the wall, instructions for check out on the wall. Sara was usually responding within the hour, happy to give tips when needed.
I really liked the bathroom as well, it’s nice and modern. One thing that confused me was that I couldn’t find the shower gel / soap. It turns out the hand wash soap doubled up as shower soap.
You can hear the birds in the morning! That’s actually quite nice. There was also a fan which was quite useful during the night - it even had a night mode for less noise.
Worth noting that there were construction works when I stayed there. It was only an issue if I had a lie-in - there was noise during the day, but not usually when I was in the flat, as I was visiting Lisbon most of the day.
