There are some good things about this apartment but there are some things that could improve it too.
As for the positive the location is fabulous and walking distance to the metro, train stations, grocery stores, and the main sightseeing highlights of Lisbon. Also noteworthy are the high ceilings, nice windows and light, renovated kitchen, and the place was clean. We found the firm beds to be comfortable.
However, there is a lack of comfort in the apartment and it’s unfortunate because with little effort it could go from good to great. The living room end of the place has one very uncomfortable torn couch and one similar hard chair. There are no floor lamps at this end and nor is there a coffee table. Adding comfortable couches and chairs, floor lamps and a coffee table would make a huge difference.
Similarly the bedrooms and linen are nice but there are no decent sized night tables and appropriate night lights are lacking. The three night tables there are too low for the high beds and one side has nothing at all. Again it would not take much to improve this situation.
Finally, with the price range of the place small things should be included, such as a few coffee pods for the first morning (buying coffee for the rest of a stay is totally acceptable). There were also no capsules for the dishwasher, no soap for the washing machine, nor any soap, shower gel or shampoo for the bathrooms (ours had none).
Communication with Andre was good and he did bring us some dishwasher pods when asked. We had a nice stay but it could have been better.
