The place was great!
Location:
You’re right across the street from a park, and a block away from the train that will bring you to Cascais. There is Time Out Market, which is next door, and has numerous restaurants and dessert places in it. There are so many places to eat right on the same block as the apartment.
In terms of Lisbon, the apartment is pretty much walkable to everything in downtown Lisbon. And for sure walkable to any of the train stations to bring you out further (Sintra, Airport, etc….) if needed.
My wife and I parked our rental car and didn’t have to use it once while we were in Lisbon. We walked or took a train (which we walked to).
Alexandra:
Great with communication, she got back to us super quick about anything. Check-in was as easy as “there’s a lockbox in the lobby with your key, here’s the code, and your apartment # is …”. Check out was even easier “just leave the keys on the table and lock the door behind you, thanks”
The apartment:
It was spacious and had everything you’d need. We loved that it felt super secure. There’s a security guard at the lobby desk, your key opens the lobby door after hours, and then operates the elevator to get to your floor, then opens the hallway door to where your apartment is and finally actually opens your apartment door.
There is only one negative thing I can say… the bedroom shared a wall with another hallway entrance, so during the weekend when people are a little more rowdy, we were able to hear them slam that door and be loud throughout the night. Not a deal-breaker at all… just something to know of.
Great place overall and I would recommend to anyone wanting to be close to downtown.
