This is a spacious and airy apartment with a spectacular balcony/terrace overlooking Rio Tejo. It included a comfortable bed and pillows, and a well-stocked kitchen. Steps from the buzzing Time Out market as well as Cais de Sodré transportation hub, its location puts many of Lisbon’s tourist sites in easy walking distance. There are many restaurants nearby and also a small, but decent grocery store just a 5 minute walk up Rua São Paulo which we frequented.
The disappointment was the bathroom. While it has a good shower with lots of hot water pressure, the toilet was a problem. It did not flush, often taking many tries to get anything down; and sometimes even that did not work. We reported this to Helena who indicated that she was getting a plumber in to work on it. But it was something we had to deal with for the duration of our stay.
It’s in a very old building like everything in this part of Lisbon, so the entry floor and elevator are a bit old and funky, but once you enter the apartment you’ll find a freshly renovated space with a warm southern exposure and lots of cross ventilation. If the plumbing issue is resolved, it would make for a great stay in old Lisboa.
