Overall, the apartment was suitable for our needs but there is some room to improve. It’s a great place for a short stay near the city center but there are some things that could be better:
Pro’s
- the apartment is well situated - close to Lisbon’s main shopping district, near a metro station and many bus stops and close to a beautiful park
- the host and her assistant are very kind, responsive and helpful
- the apartment, although small, is cozy and well laid out
- there are double pane windows that keep out most of the street noise
Con’s
- the apartment is on the ground floor of an older building, right next to the building door so you will hear noise from people coming and going
- the windows face a busy bus stop so if you keep the shutters open people end up looking directly into the apartment but if you keep them closed the place is very dark
- the place could use some general maintenance and updating
- the pictures show a table and chairs outside the bedroom but note these are in a building alley where residents and staff sometimes come and go.
