The apartment is lovely and the views from the balcony sold this for me. I had 3 problems with the room, which be aware is a lot smaller than the photos make out and also to make you aware it’s not got a balcony.
- The toilet is impossible to use, I’m shocked it’s not mentioned before but there is no room to sit down unless you sit sideaways on the toilet pan. Try it at home, it’s very uncomfortable.
- On Check-In there was only one cushion (not pillow) on the bed and one small towel (for my 3 night stay). I emailed and asked for some more cushions and towels, it was very quickly explained that the reservation included one set of towels and the house keeper would come round to review the cushion. She come and very rudely explained that it was one cushion per a person.
It felt like their pride over making sure I wasn’t trying to sneak another person in was more important than my comfort (for record, I wasn’t trying to - I was traveling solo).
- Cleanliness, the apartment was clean and tidy however on arrival the flat had a lingering cat smell. I’m allergic to cats so I checked this with the owner who confirmed it had never been occupied by cats also the floor hadn’t been cleaned and I was constantly finding long hairs attached to me everywhere from the previous tenants.
It’s a gorgeous place to stay in Lisbon, the views are incredible and I recommend it.
If I went again, I’d probably stay somewhere else (my favourite area was Principe Real).
