The experience we had with this apartment/ the owner was almost perfect! The apartment is impeccably clean, very tasteful and simple in terms of design, comfortable, cozy and sun bathed all day long. A big sleeping room, a big living room sporting a great side view, very central ( 5' away from the city centre), cute kitchen and balcony.

Rita, the owner, is one of the nicest person one could meet, openminded, helpful and nonetheless, very funny.

In terms of things to keep in mind though when renting the place: it's on the 4th floor so you need good legs to get up and down, low ceiling in the second sleeping room ( you better not be taller than 1,70m) and a funny fish smell coming through some of the windows, from the restaurant downstairs ( Rita said this would be sorted soon with the help of a taller chimney - nevertheless you pretty much get used to it after a couple of days). Some of us were also puzzled by the wifi coming and going. All in all, minor stuff.

If/when I would go to Lisbon again, I would definitively choose to return to the The Countess Quarters, so big thumbs up!
