I enjoyed my stay, the apartment is light and airy. The layout flows, and the bed and sofa were comfy. I was able to cook my meals as there is a local Pingo Dolce up the block.
☺️ What I Loved
•Fully stocked Kitchen +Dishwasher
•Spacious + Roomy with large windows
•Modern and well designed
😕 Didn’t Love
•The Wi-Fi never worked consistently for me. I ended up having to use a mobile hotspot. Not good for me as I work remotely.
•There is a steep incline to reach the apartment. If you pack light, it won’t be an issue. I on the other hand was waiting for my apartment to be ready, so I had 6pcs of luggage. You can imagine what a challenge that was.
•It’s overall a quiet/traditional Portuguese neighborhood, but when the neighbors are walking around upstairs, washing clothes, or the baby is crying across the way…you will hear it. It’s not terrible but to be expected. Nights were quite and I slept soundly.
•Communication is slow
I booked the rooftop, but the owners double booked it and gave me a different apartment. It was a similar layout w/out the rooftop views. I didn’t make a fuss because I had a lot of luggage and settled for the 1st floor. It also took anywhere from 30min-2hrs for a response via WhatsApp.
