Ana’s apartment was very nice and spacious. We had a fantastic time here. To start, we had a last minute booking and Ana was very accommodating. The check in process was extremely easy and the apartment had everything we needed. Since we were already in the city, Ana was able to get us in with an early check in.
It’s really as beautiful in person as it is in photos. Everything in the apartment feels deliberate, almost everything follows the theme. There’s a lot of charm in both this apartment and neighborhood. Barrio Alto has a lot of great bars and restaurants and is so close to attractions in the city. The apartment is located on a famous street and as such sees many tourists throughout the day. You can hear people outside during the day, but it’s shockingly quiet at night.
This is more advice to Americans, but as with a lot of European apartments, you have to be sparing with hot water usage. I think the one real complaint I have about this Airbnb however is that the WiFi is slow. If you’re just here as a tourist as we were, it’s not a big deal, but I think you’d have a hard time working from here and having zoom/skype calls as it is today.
We had to cut our stay short and Ana was actually really helpful. She let us stay a little longer on our checkout day closer to our flight so we didn’t have to find luggage storage.
By the way, if you need covid tests for your flight, Farmácia Sacoor do Chiado is a short walk away and they’re amazingly helpful. You can get your rapid tests with no appointment on demand.
Overall, everything was great. Definitely recommend!
