What a charming apartment to call home for a month! Brigida’s place was fantastic and perfectly located for exploring Lisbon.
Communication & Check-in: We received check-in instructions prior to our arrival and had no issues accessing the apartment. As others have mentioned, there are a couple of flights of stairs to climb to get to the unit. Brigida lives in the building and was quickly available for anything we needed.
Location: This is an excellent location for exploring the historic parts of Lisbon. The apartment is on the second floor and has beautiful views of the streets just outside. We were able to explore Barrio Alto, Chiado, Baixa, and Alfama within walking distance, though be prepared for Lisbon’s steep streets. There are grocery stores, restaurants, and cafes within a few blocks as well.
Amenities: Though the building was built in the 18th century, the apartment was been updated with modern amenities like a washer, dining table, an induction cooktop, and a nice bathroom with plenty of hot water. However, it retains some very cool original details like the shutters, closet doors, and ceiling. It’s a perfect mix of history with modern conveniences. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and cookware. Brigida also provided weekly cleaning and fresh linens.
Wifi: The wifi was superb and reliable! We got downloads of ~438 Mbps and uploads of ~99 mbps. Best wifi we’ve ever had in an Airbnb!
Sleep: We slept great throughout our stay and the bed was comfortable. There is closet space available in the bedroom, as well as additional closets in the living area.
Summary: Lisbon is a beautiful city and we’re glad we had such a great spot to call our home base while we explored it. 100% recommended!
