Had a wonderful stay in Lisbon and was overall very pleased with our accommodations. Since I relied so heavily on AirBnB reviews for planning my euro tour, I really want to pay it forward in detail. So with that said, here are the positives and negatives.
Positives: excellent location! Very quiet at night despite being so close to Barrio Alto. No bars directly nearby and so you really are in the thick of it without sacrificing sleep. It is so close to everything you would want or need. We only took transit once locally, otherwise we walked everywhere. And we covered a lot of ground. It is in a residential area and building so there really is an authentic feel you get there. The views from all windows were breathtaking and the unit was full of light. It was very clean and updated. The balcony is quite small but ok for one or two people to sit. There is a breathtaking 15th or 16th century church right down the street.
Negatives: there are no coffee pods and very little in terms of paper products (toilet paper, etc.) and no additional garbage bags, soap, etc. There is a market down the street so you can get what you need, but something to plan for. The beds and pillows were a bit uncomfortable. Last negative is the check in. It’s inconvenient to have to stop of the welcome point without a car. We did not have a car in Lisbon (you do not need one and driving looks slightly challenging) and so taking an Uber from the airport to the welcome point and then to the apartment was annoying. I suggest they utilize lockboxes for convenience.
All considered, I would definitely recommend this booking. The positives significantly outweigh the negatives.
