I spent the month of February in Lisbon studying Portuguese. I picked this apartment because it was 5 minutes from my school, it had a good gym a couple of blocks away, it was one of the few apartments in the area with central heating, had a tv and had relatively fast wifi. I WAS VERY SATISFIED HERE AND I WOULD CHOOSE IT AGAIN. António, who let me into the apartment, was an excellent host who quickly answer my messages throughout my stay. He solved all my issues, concerns, and questions, like for example when I asked him for a toaster, he brought a brand new one (Thanks so much!). The apartment is on 4-floor building, occupying the 3rd floor (if you consider ground floor the 1st floor), therefore you'll have to walk up two floors. The unit on the 4th floor is another rental unit (listed on a German website). During the 4 weeks in the apartment, the unit above was occupied a third of the time, but when it was occupied the noise from above could be a bit bothersome. I live in an apartment, so I'm used to noises from neighbors, but be aware that the floors and walls in the building are thinner than in pre-war structures. Just in case, bring earplugs and tolerance (they saved my sleeping and mental state when a young German couple stayed upstairs for a few days with a crying baby and a 3-yo toddler who liked to run nonstop; although when other guests moved in, the noise was not a big deal). The kitchen is well equipped. I never used the dishwasher but did use the washing machine (I could not find printed instructions but an internet search let me find the owner's manual for the unit and understand how to use it). There's no dryer, but there's a hanger, and, because of Lisbon's dry weather, clothes dry up in half a day. The bathroom has a strange layout, kind of small but I learned how to move around. There are small grocery stores within a block and a good supermarket (Pingo Doce) 10 minutes away by foot. Be aware also that the street (Rua de Santo António da Gloria) is a cobblestone street, midway on steep slope of one of Lisbon's many hills, therefore you'll have to be able to walk on irregular surfaces up and downhill; I love the daily exercise, though. A 7' walk uphill will take you to Bairro Alto and Príncipe Real, where there are lots of restaurants and stores. And walk 4' downhill and you'll find Avenida da Libertade, with luxury stores, outdoor cafes and two Metro stations (Avenida and Restauradores). This apartment contributed to making my stay in Lisbon a memorable one. Thanks!
