We enjoyed our stay in Lisbon but did expewrience some issues with this apartment. The location of the property was excellent, central yet quiet. The stairs up the the apartment were wide and safe. The small balcony would have been wonderful if it had been sunny! Kitchen facilities were excellent.
However, the upstairs bedroom difficult to use. There were no supports on the stairs up to attic room and no protection when in loft to stop you falling down the stairs. Would not be suitable for children or anyone who got up in the night.
The upstairs bed also has a very thin mattress and is uncomfortable.
The living area, downstairs and upstairs bedrooms are one space leading to a lack of privacy.
The ceilings are incredibly low. This flat would be unsuitable for anyone taller than 5ft 6", especially in the shower.
Access to the flat from the street is via a shop. On two of the four nights we stayed we were unable to open the front door, once the shop closed at 2130. Olivier offered little support, suggesting that we were not using the keys correctly. Luckily someone from another apartment came home and let us in via a keypad (not the lock). Olivier had suggested we called a neighbouring flat should the issue occur again. We felt that he was quite flippant about the prospect of us being locked out at night in a foreign city.
