Location couldn’t be beat. It is literally in the heart of the city. Endless cafes, shopping and nightlife right out the door. Everything walking distance. We are vegan and found a ton of vegan/veg restaurants. Our favorites were: Organi Chiado, AO 26, Kong, Vegan Junkies Club and Basilio. There’s also a natural grocery store a block away that we bought wine, vegan cheese and fresh bread and fruit. We also bought more soap, laundry detergent and toilet paper. Some were provided but not enough for 4 people for 3 nights.
The apartment is on third third floor above the oldest bookstore in the world. There is an elevator.
The apartment had most amenities, dishwasher, washer, no dryer but the afternoon sun was helpful for drying the clothes.
The apartment was clean and beds were comfortable and the only hiccup was the AC portable unit in the master bedroom. Both bedrooms had one, the living room had one but it wasn’t connected.
The master bedroom unit kept filling with water after about 3 hours so it powers off. It wasn’t an issue until at night when you get hot because you have to have the windows closed for the lively night life. We would be emptying the unit in the middle of the night so that we could turn the AC back on. It was clear that this has been an ongoing issue as the floor and rug were completely soaked when we checked in.
The property management were responsive and apologetic and had maintenance come to fix it. Maintenance showed us how to empty the unit of water when it shuts off.
This wasn’t an issue in the second bedroom as that unit lasted longer.
We still gave the apartment 5 stars as this was minor and didn’t affect our overall stay.
The property management mentioned they are looking into a better solution. We would still rent this apartment again as the location was excellent.
Check in and check out were easy and effortless.
