This apartment was a perfect base for our short break in Lisbon. It’s on the first floor of a typical Chiado building with a lovely tiled entrance hall. It’s even nicer than the photos, obviously newly and very tastefully decorated (and with some personality, so nice not to be in a 100% IKEA’d apartment for once), immaculate and with a well stocked & equipped kitchen. The air con is great and we appreciated it even in Oct given the unexpectedly hot weather.
Both the double and twin bedroom are lovely and the spotlessly white bathroom has a bath with shower head. The living room was lovely to chill out in and had good Wifi.
We loved the location - on an old narrow Chiado street just off Largo Trinidade Coelho with the beautiful Igreja de Sao Roque and 30 seconds away from the restaurant and cafe lined Calcada do Duque. Also less than 5 mins walk from the viewpoint Miradouro de Sao Pedro de Alcantara which is beside Elevador Gloria, a novel way to get to Rossio (and back) in a minute or two - leaves you v near Estacio Rossio (for trains to Sintra/Cascais) and Praca Dom Pedro IV.
Mario from Fado Flats was really nice to deal with, very informative, professional and efficient as well as friendly and helpful. He arranged an airport transfer for us, met us at the apartment, arranged some last minute changes to layout with no fuss at all, gave us some v useful local info and left a helpful local map. The Fado Flats office is across the street which is really useful for check out also.
In a nutshell, Lisbon’s a beautiful and v friendly city, Chiado is buzzy, atmospheric, old and very photogenic and this apartment is a perfect base. I’ll be back and you should book!
