This Airbnb is all about its location. You’re within striking distance of incredible restaurants (Tasca Baldracca is truly a revelation), must-see sites like the Castelo de São Jorge, and a bevy of transport options like Rossio Station for your Sintra day trip as well as those iconic trams.
The flat itself isn’t anything to write home about: it’s modern and well-equipped, if a little impersonal, but the space is very tight (even for this Hong Kong resident). Given the charms of the neighborhood and the building you’re in, though, the apartment is completely serviceable for one or two unfussy travelers. Plus you’ll be spending more time out and about anyway, so as a place to rest your weary head, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more convenient spot. The communication with the management company sometimes felt a little chaotic—the rental units in the building are all run by the same company—but it wasn’t a dealbreaker by any means.
