First of all, it was a great deal- the price for such a spacious apartment in the center of Lisboa was great.
Apartment is located in Alfama, one of the most historic parts of Lisboa, so there are no new build houses in this area and we didn’t expect something like this, however on the photos it looked renovated.
We liked the combination of modern details of design and the historic (doors, wooden parts etc). But in the reality some rooms and surfaces were very used and shabby. Especially kitchen and bathrooms shout about renovation. I understand that, for example, some smells are integral parts of historic buildings but also I believe that a normal repair can defeat them but not an army of automatic air refresheners making a “pshshshs” every five minutes in all the rooms. I rate it 4 out of 5 because facts “for” dominate, but also I hope that owners will make some efforts to make this place better.
