The apartment is conveniently located near Downton Lisbon. It's very easy to get to Rossio train station which will take you to Sintra, a beautiful town outside of Lisbon. It's also a short walk to Pink Street the party hub of Lisbon for young students. Basic soap and shampoo was provided.
There is a little balcony with a view to the castle and the river. An was flexible about early check in and check out.
The apartment is a great stay for an able bodied, younger traveler on a budget who is not too fussy.
The neighborhood has steep hills and is not the cleanest. This building and the others in the area are a bit older than other ones I saw in Lisbon. Expect odd smells and narrow staircases.
The bed in the apartment is quite creaky and the sofa is not the cleanest. One night when it rained, there was a leak above the kitchen cabinets and the water meter made a ticking noise all night. The second night the ticking stopped.
The shower in the bathroom had some mold and rust.
As a relatively fit, easy going traveler in need of a cheap place for a couple of nights this apartment fit my needs well.
