What we love about this apartment - location (close to supermarkets, mini-markets, any market you want), location (5 min walk to the subway, bus stop right around the corner), and location (7-10 min walk to the riverside). The host was super friendly and open to any questions we had. The style and the decoration are amazing.
Unfortunately, old apartments in Portugal don’t have the central heating, so inside the house the temperature may be lower than outside. We had the heating in the apartment which helped us to get warm. The host warned us about the situation so we brought our warmest pajamas ^_^ The only issue we have to notice is when you turn on the heater and any other electricity item at the same time the plugs go out (the same situation with the oven, kettle, and hairdryer). It might slightly complicate your staying. But if you aren’t going to cook in the apartment or use the kettle you probably won’t notice it. We told our host about this issue, he promised to fix it :)
We consulted our electricity specialist he said the solution is simple - change of the electrical meter to more powerful one. Hope the owner do this to make the winter stay at the apartment more pleasant :)
Thank you very much! We will be back in the summertime.
