The apartment was great and as depicted in the pictures. The views were fantastic and the location was very convenient to city center and other places by train, bus or Uber (we went on day trips to both Cascais and Sintra). The apartment comfortably slept 8 and each of us had our own private bath (the upstairs bedroom is more of a large cozy nook which my daughter loved). There’s a great restaurant across the street that we dined at twice and a grocery store at the base of the apartment with fruits, vegetables, etc. We cooked breakfast most mornings and the kitchen was well appointed. Also, Susana (the host) was easy to communicate with despite being in Vietnam.
On the downside, the apartment doesn’t have laundry facilities. It wasn’t a problem for us but if we stayed longer we would’ve wanted this option. We had a few hiccups the first day (clogged shower drain, broken bath faucet, and a few missing or loose door knobs), but mostly minor inconveniences. Also, we tried to keep consecutive showers to 10 min or less to conserve hot water. I noticed this was an issue our first day but then we managed accordingly. The house manager doesn’t answer or accept text messages, so best to call her if you need help.
Overall, we loved Lisbon and had a great time as a family in Susana’s place!
