The warmest of welcome was given when we got to the apartment - we've been greeted in such a way for an Airbnb before. We were shown around and given a run down of local information and things to do. It was lovely to stay in a "local" style of place and you are on a very popular street, right above a local (and cheap) cafe/bar. We were there Thu to Mon and Fri & Sat were the loudest of them. It was lovely to have open the front windows and enjoy the atmosphere and the sunshine of course! The tram outside was not running at the time we were there but was parked up outside. The apartment is right near the Baixa-Chiado Metro, a square and some of the best Pastel de Nata. Right next to stops for the main tram route you will want to explore - so location wise it is perfect. Note if you are with buggy/child you may wish to use to Rosso station for its step free access, Baixa-Chiado had 3-4 sets of escalators ending with some steps to get out but we managed it.
The internal space of the apartment was exactly what was needed, the two bedrooms spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was equiped well with a big fridge. Water pressure and cleaning facilies good.
The hosts have done a great job in managing expectations by being very clear on their listing, so please read and be mindful of this. However, if you want a place in the centre, to soak in the atmosphere and live like they do then this is a great place to stay at.
Hosts communicated a lot and very well and were super helpful - they were also super accomodating for some special requets around our stay.
