We absolutely loved this apartment. It’s very minimalistic with lots of plants and a fabulous terrace area (the hammock seems to be everyone’s personal favourite).
The only slight issue we had was we
felt a bit out of the way if you were wanting to catch the coastal train to Cascais, find a rooftop pool, go partying down Pink Street or Commercial Square, go try food at the Time Market etc… the main tourist things seem to be quite far away from here.
We caught a ‘10 minute’ tram to a brunch place near the city centre, but the 19 stops actually took around 30 minutes with no air conditioning, mask on and we had to stand the whole way. The apartment is advertised as city centre, but I think it is impossible to be central in such a large city which is not the hosts fault.
This accommodation is perfect if you want to relax and go to a few nice restaurants/ bars (I would recommend the bar next door), but we wanted to go sight seeing and experience the night life too so we ended up spending a lot of money on taxis (Ubers are recommended but almost impossible to get at busy times).
The hosts are lovely and responded to my messages instantly including recommendations and advice about the city.
