We had a great two weeks at the cozy mini flat. J&J were great to deal with and promptly answered all our inquiries both before and after checkin. We were warmly greeted upon arrival including a basket with wine, juice and cookies.
The apartment was well stocked with cutlery and cooking equipment. Unfortunately the cabinet over the stove is very low and made it difficult for us (two tall men) to cook a lot. However we did make eggs for breakfast and used the oven a good bit. The miniflat was clean but it is in an older building so if you need an all new sparkling accommodation you might want to consider another.
We had cool weather while we were there in early June so the sunroom was our favorite place to relax with its beautiful view of the bridge. I would be concerned if I was planning on staying in the middle of summer since I can imagine the apartment might be very warm-though if the breezes remained, it could perhaps be pleasant.
The apartment is on the ground floor for which I was thankful since after making the climb up the steep hill I don’t know that I would have had strength for any steps! Luckily the bus stop is just a few steps from the door and we typically walked down and caught the bus back up the hill after we had purchased our Viva viagem card. Closest place we found to buy was at the Alcântara Terra train station (that’s the one you look directly down upon from the sunroom.) Once we had it, we “zapped” and went all over Lisbon and even out to Cascais which was a great daytrip.
We recommend J&J’s miniflat to you and hope you have a great stay!
