This is a wonderful choice if you’re looking for a neighborhood that has all the charm of Lisbon without the noise and bustle of the city center. A few things you should know as you book, though it should be noted I highly recommend staying here:
Pros: Excellent location - great coffee shops (Copenhagen Coffee Lab was superb) and restaurants (Magnolia) nearby, grocery store just downstairs, the 28 tram stop just up the road (though you can’t hop on/off, you need to purchase a ticket at the metro station) and it was easy to coordinate Ubers to/from. The place has an AMAZING view - very picturesque. Which absolutely made the stairs worth it. Apartment comes fitted with all necessities - iron, hair dryer, hangers, etc.
Cons: Quite a foul smell coming from toilet - from reading multiple listings around Lisbon it seems that this is common, but we left the window open often to counteract the smell. Also, the TV didn’t work. Not like we came to Portugal to watch TV, but we notified the host and she advised she would schedule someone to come fix (but didn’t). Also there was a coffee machine, but no coffee pods to make any. And a half-consumed bottle of wine was in the fridge upon check-in, which we thought was strange. As other reviewers noted, the climb up the stairs is not for everyone. Just make sure you’re not lugging up heavy bags and/or are fit enough for the hike.
All in all, I’d absolutely stay here again. The host was very responsive, and her home was beautiful - just as pictured. A truly lovely neighborhood.
