We had such a lovely time here! The view in the kitchen snd living room were truly spectacular! The photos were totally accurate and since I stayed with my mom, and friends and needed a large, spacious place, it was really important that we have the place we saw in pictures, so that accuracy was appreciated.
Rita greeted us and made us feel truly welcome and settling in super simple. One shocker was being in the 3rd floor with no elevator. That’s the 4the floor by American standards. Carrying heavy luggage up all those stairs was brutal, especially for my 74 year old mom. Yet upon arrival, all the amenities (snacks, toiletries, dish soap, cleaning supplies, you name it!) for our long-term stay made up for that.
If you’re staying here in the summer, please note that there are few or no shades or curtains for all the windows in the living room. The evening sun exposure was brutal from 5-9pm, like roasting hot, and it made being in the kitchen and living room impossible. At this rental price point, check to make sure adequate shades and or curtains have been added for your basic comfort.
One other thing to note for parties that need all three bedrooms like we did (when my friends were there ), the 3rd small bedroom was very hot and didn’t get good ventilation. My friend was very hot in that room and had to sleep on the couch during that week:-(. For parties needling all 3 rooms in summer, check that AC has been added to smallest room so that that guest will be comfortable.
Aldo, on previous visits to Lisbon, I had been in more centrally located neighborhoods and was a bit concerned about being a bit further out. To my surprise, I THOROUGHLY enjoyed the quiet and overall more local feel of this neighborhood and walking further to get places. I came for two months and that is exactly what I hoped for, a more residential and less touristy stay.
