I really enjoyed my stay in Ernest’s apartment. Of course, as many others mention, there are a lot of stairs but this is to be expected and it’s more than worth it. I found the building and the street very quiet. There is a stop for the famous tram 28 (Graça stop) right at the end of the street in a very pretty square. Although the location is on the tram 28 route, the immediate neighborhood seemed quite authentically local and residential. I saw very few other tourists around, except for those on the tram! It was so lovely to feel as though I was in a local-non-tourist-neighborhood, even though I was so close and accessible to everything I wanted to do and see!
Ernest was so wonderful from the moment I booked. He supplied me with lots of helpful information and helped ensure I was able to leave my bags at the apartment early before check in. I had an emergency change of plans and had to fly home in the middle of my Lisbon stay at Ernest’s apartment. Ernest was so kind and worked with me to find the best option to get the greatest possible refund for the days I was unable to stay. I would definitely recommend a stay in this apartment!
