The place is central and very easy to access most Lisbon attractions - Moniz metro station is no more than 7 minutes walk. The views from the apartment are great and overall it is a very well equipped, small apartment. It has 2 small double bedrooms and a great power shower - big enough for 4 people and perfect in terms of having a base whilst exploring Lisbon.
It is easy to travel from the airport to the flat, it costs €2 for a single journey and in half an hour you are there. For those of you who have never been to Lisbon before, pack light: there are many up-the-hill trecks to get anywhere, including the apartment; it’s great for fitness!
However , there is a nasty smell coming from the bathroom which doesn’t subside and fills the entire place.
Additionally, I have originally paid for a different apartment however, there were some issues and I had to move. The original flat was beautiful, exactly as per pictures, however the internet didn’t work, the electric heaters didn’t manage to keep it warm and there was a leak from the bathroom into the flat below.
Even with all these issues, I was deeply disappointed to move to the other, suggested apartment - the standard between the two is miles apart and I felt that I didn’t get value for money - I had been downgraded, not to mention the disruption to my holiday.
Another thing to bare in mind is that the winter months are cold and therefore it is paramount that the apartment of your choice is suitably heated; in fact it is an implied term of the consumer contract that suitable heating is provided and that the overall accommodations of a satisfactory standard. Given my issues, e.g. heating, internet (in the first apartment), the downgrade in accommodation and the smell in the second flat - I am not of the opinion that it was of a satisfactory standard.
