As a start, I would say the apartment is lovely, spacious, and well renovated.
We were four, my wife, two 6 years old twin boys, and myself. We had it for four nights.
I will list down the pros and cons:
Pros:
-Space, check-in, number of rooms, look and feel, view (front and back), lots of cabinets, Ac’s everywhere, very calm.
-We were searching and many apartments in Lisobon had reviews complaining about the noise till midnight, that’s why we chose this one.
-We’ve read some reviews for this appartment complaining about check-in, so I think it got fixed because we didn’t have to go anywhere, we received the code and self-checked in. It was easy.
- The rate and (quality to price) is excellent.
Cons:
-Although it looks great, but some of the furniture needs to be changed, like the seats in the living room, and the mattresses.
I have back pain every while and then, and my first night was not good, I woke up feeling the mattress springs are pushing my back and I had some pain during the day, so the next day I flipped it and it was ok for the coming nights.
-The view is nice and the apartment is well lit, but you have to know that having a view means lots of stairs and streets with slope-up, our solution was to get prepared in the morning, leave and not get back till we finish our day.
We have children, so we had taxis/Uber for going back most of the time. I went once to get some stuff for the kids and it was awful, I had to use the stair to go down/up to the main street, it was more than 200 sloppy steps.
The other thing is that it’s the third floor with no elevator, so if you choose to walk, we will end up climbing another ~60 steps to get there, so the first trial will be the last!
-The furniture and color theme is really nice, yellow maple wood with troweled concrete all over, but I think the layout ended up with a nice living room to watch, but not to use!
The bench has a straight back, and movable cushions, so it’s not really comfortable to use, but on the other hand, the kitchen and table are really nice to use and well equipped.
Overall, everything was as expected, we read some reviews about mobility, and we saw the photos and the living room. The only thing for the host to consider is to invest in new good quality mattresses.
I would say it's an excellent choice if you're Ok with mobility, and I would be glad to book it again.
