We decided on Lisbon as it is one of the best cities in Europe if not thee best. Our work was flexible so we wanted to find somewhere to work from home so we decided on Juliettes apartment for 1 month. We LOVED this place, the area, our host and the views from the balcony just made it amazing.
The apartment was located in a local neighbourhood (yes it was a little noisy but really fun and lots of supermarkets 2 minutes from the apartment so we would never be stuck for food). The area is fantastic, so many bus routes into the city, Belem we walked around most evenings and it was just perfect.
We loved the space within the apartment, always hot water for a shower, bed was comfortable, washing facilities were great, cooking facilities also great. We felt super safe in the apartment and area, the bins were also collected every evening so it was great if you are staying for a long period of time.
We accidentally locked ourselves out of the apartment and left the key inside, Juliette made her way from work and let us in. She was super kind and such a great host. Thank you.
Trying not to mention any negatives and it is quite difficult to get any negatives for this apartment.
We couldn’t get the TV to work for a full week but Juliette stopped by and actually went and bought a smart tv brand new. This was just amazing as a TV was important for us as we were staying for a long period.
There was no soap,shampoo or toiletries in the apartment so we are happy we brought our own definitely for the first few days anyways until we did a grocery shop.
The A/C was the only downside to this apartment, it was fine when we arrived as the weather was not too hot however when it got very hot and didn’t work on days where we spent our time in the apartment so it was quite uncomfortable. There was works being done to an apartment below which made it impossible to sleep past 8.30am in the morning and it was quite inconvenient, however these things happen in cities so can’t be off fault of the apartment but would be good to keep this in mind if you are thinking about booking.
Little lack of extra pillows and towels for longer stays as we were always washing our towels etc.
Overall, I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Lisbon as the area and apartment were super comfortable. Close to everything you need, Lidl was 10 mins away on bus, ubers are cheap and never cost more than €6 into the city. We cooked most nights and everything was included in the apartment that we needed!
Thank you Juliette for being such a fantastic host and especially for buying us a TV! We will be back!
