This stay went very smoothly! Even though we booked at the last minute, my boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our single night in this lovely Lisbon apartment. Wish we could have stayed longer.
Here are some things you should know:
- The master bed was very comfortable. The glass in the master bathroom is not etched (as others have noted), so something to be aware of. Didn't bother us.
- The aircon units (which also blow heat) are very strong and function very well. There are several units throughout the space, so it got toasty in the Lisbon winter cold in no time.
- The internet is strong and easy to connect to.
- The kitchen has basic dishes, soap, detergent for the laundry machine, and a rack to dry clothes. There were no oil or spices (would have been a nice touch). They did however leave us a modest bottle of wine.
- Check-in and communication were very easy. Professional and punctual, our check-in agent (not the host) was thorough in getting us acquainted with the space. Communication was easy using the app the whole time.
- The location is right in the middle of the tourist/downtown center. Super easy to walk anywhere in Alfama or Baixa/Chiado. Very, very convenient, even if the immediate environs were a little touristy for our taste. If that's not your style, walk 5 minutes in any direction and you'll be somewhere beautiful and authentic. The location is hard to beat, especially if you have rollaway luggage (other spaces are surrounded by tons of stairs, and this was all mostly flat). Extremely easy to access from public transportation (maybe a 5 min walk to station).
- There was a slight odor coming from the second bathroom in the hall. Just enough to notice, but not enough to seriously bother us or to be a deal breaker. I mentioned this to the host and check-in lady, and I'm sure they've fixed it already, so don't let this disqualify your decision -- just something to be aware of.
- Clean, spacious, and comfortable. Every space says that, but this one actually is. Well managed, it seems. I'd stay again!
