5 star location in a 3 star apartment.
This apartment felt a lot smaller than the pics led us to believe but as we're travelling it didn't matter to have a lot of space. We didn't however, get excited about staying in the room to unwind and prefered to go to a local bar/cafe to sit.
Pros- Ana was awesome, great at communicating in English, speedy communication. Literally less than 100m from Baixa-chiado metro station which we got to from the airport easily. Shopping centre atop the metro. Bars/cafes/restaurants/shops a 1 minute walk in 3 directions. Free small bottle of wine because it was our honeymoon! Location location location! Overall a great 3 star place. Clean and tidy.
Cons- gave us a different room to the one we booked online. Twin single beds pushed together instead of a double which is usually fine but being on our honeymoon the room we booked was a double and what we got was less romantic. Budget hotel feel but very much self managed. Housekeeping came just once in our 5 day stay so definitely don't expect things changed. Mini bar unnecessary considering not an actual hotel.
Maids fixing up rooms were very loud and banged the vacuum cleaners all over the place. Surface clean but not detailed, a lot of mold in the shower tracks, design of shower recess was poor with weird gaps in the wall. Renovated but cheaply. Awful sewagey smell from toilet that meant we had to keep the door to the bathroom closed at all times and when we showered it was yuck.
Honestly, I might stay again but I'd have a look around first. The location is hard to beat and Ana really was a fantastic host!
