Stayed at this place for 5 nights in January. And overall had a good stay. No major issues with the apartment. Here are pros and cons.
Pro’s:
1. Amazing location. Walkable to everything in the historic city. 3 min walk from the subway Baixa-Chiado
2. Very comfortable bedroom. The bed is nice, blockout curtains are very appreciated by a light sleeper like me. Big closet with lots of hangers.
3. Beautiful view! You can see the sunset over the bridge. Gorgeous
4. The lady who meets you at the apartment Lourdes is very nice, made me feel welcomed.
5. Very clean place.

Con’s:
1. Very very cold in the winter. They have 2 space heaters. The bedroom one is decent. But the living room one is small and doesn’t do much. The floor is always freezing. Bring slippers or thick socks.
2. Hot water in the shower runs out in about 3-5 min. I learned to turn the water off and on while washing myself. The bathroom sink doesn’t have hot water at all. I used kitchen sink for washing my face.
3. Washing machine is confusing for a foreigner. My clothes were soaking wet when it was finished, I had to squeeze out the water. And they dried for 3 days due to very cold living room. After they dried I realized that they were still dirty. Written instructions on washing machine usage would be great.
4. The tv is a computer monitor size. And has a pink picture. Definitely needs to be upgraded.
5. Pitch black staircase to the apartment. No light at all day or night. Thank god for phone flashlight!
6. Communication with the actual host was very “dry”. No greeting message, acknowledging the booking. No reply to my “thank you” at the checkout either. Some messages were unanswered.
