The penthouse was beautiful and everything they listed and more. At first had reservations because it was a last minute booking, but turned out to be perfect for us. Though the apt is not located in the heart of Baixa/chiado,
Alfama…you are very close to the metro and can easily get to the other areas quickly. Or you can hop into a Bolt for very little money. So if you’re okay not being in the busy tourist area and living amongst the locals, this place is for you.
The apt gets a lot of sunlight, is quiet and very. comfortable. Lots of amenities.
Also, yes it is a small elevator, but the building only has 4 floors so it’s not like you’d have to wait long for it come again. And the stairway is big and lit well (make sure to turn on the lights) so you have that option too. So the small elevator is not and should not even be a deciding factor.
This was one of my best airbnb stays.
