The apartment is on a quiet street about a 10 minute walk from Rossio square. The apartment is a second floor walk up, which was a fairly easy climb. The pictures are accurate, but doesn’t show that the apartment is a bit worn. Bathroom has a nice sized shower and is modern. Kitchen is small but functional and has the necessary equipment to make meals. The host is very responsive as is their helper, who answered any questions that I had.
Location is fairly quiet, but the building next door is under construction at the moment. It doesn’t produce a whole lot of noise, but there was drilling going on during a couple of the days I stayed. The windows don’t block out sound from the street very well and you can hear passersby, not a big deal and at night the street and building are very quiet. There is a lot of natural light, which is great. Beds and pillows are comfortable. The living room area has a tv that I didn’t watch. I took several video calls for work while I was there and the wifi didn’t give me any issues during the day, at night it appears to be a bit slower for video calls and my calls were dropped. Overall it was a good stay.
One thing to note: There are two bright street lamps that sit right outside of the bedroom windows. The window shutters do not fully block out the light from lamp outside, which is right at the same height as the window in the yellow room . The second street lamp sits below the window and sends light into the second bedroom and dining room space. But the shutters do close, it doesn’t block out all of the light. If you’re sensitive to light while trying to fall asleep, I would suggest using a sleep mask.
