You will need to be able to pinpoint your specific arrival time for check in, so you can meet the host and get oriented.
The neighborhood the apartment is in is lovely—authentic, and a beautiful mix of recently renovated and older structures. Love the proximity to LX Factory, which we returned to many times. We also loved Alcântara 50 restaurant! It is not super close to Chiado/Bairro Aalto/Baixa, so we usually got transport to those areas rather than walking. A short distance, but it took a while (up to 30 minutes via car) during peak traffic times.
The apartment itself is perfect. You need to be able to climb outdoor and indoor stairs to access it. It is so clean and fresh. The layout is great, with a bedroom and bathroom with spacious shower upstairs. The bed and pillows were comfortable. Air conditioning units on both floors were so quiet and worked well! Really, really appreciated the AC in the heat of Lisbon. Loved the views and the balconies! The lighting options, as weird as that sounds, were great! Details like motion sensor closet lights and gentle lights illuminating the stairs were just great. There are multiple lockable cabinets in the bedroom with removable keys, for items you want to secure. The kitchen had some coffee and tea, which was appreciated, but otherwise isn't stocked with any food/cooking supplies. This was fine for us - we didn’t want to cook at home - but FYI if you plan to since you’ll also need to buy “the basics.”
Host was quick to respond to inquiries and address an issue that came up, which was much appreciated!
Overall, definitely recommend!
