The apartment is excellent, but there are some problems that you need to be aware of:
- The larger bathroom had a very strong odor of sewage. We complained to the person that checked us in (Marcelo) and he said he would send someone. Nobody ever showed up. The odor came and went which made it harder for us to complain. Sometimes it would not be there at all, and sometimes you could smell it even in the kitchen and living room. It seems like a remodeling issue.
- The bedrooms do not have AC. The hallway does, so you need to keep the bedroom doors open to have a minimum of AC in the bedroom, which were still very warm in the Lisbon summer.
- The bedrooms face the busy street and get afternoon sunshine. So they are very warm and noisy, unless you keep the windows and shades closed at all times, which is what we did. The living room and kitchen, on the other hand, face an inner courtyard that is quiet and peaceful with a narrow but long and pleasant balcony with large doors even in the kitchen. We had coffee/wine several times there.
Even with the problems mentioned above, we still recommend this condo.
The apartment is located in a beautifully remodeled building, where all floors seem to be rental units from the same company. There is a small but convenient (retrofitted) elevator.
The decor is beautiful and modern, the apartment is clean, the wifi works well, the kitchen is well equipped (dishwasher/washer dryer/microwave/oven/gas cooktop). The location is excellent and very convenient to everything. We could even find parking for our car nearby. There are bakeries/supermarkets very close by, and the public elevators are less than one block away to go to the Baixa and to Castelo.
