Great apartment in a great location. Stayed here for 1 week with my sister in early November 2013.

Communication with Jose prior to our visit was clear and concise - bedrooms had been made up as per our request with the single beds in one room replaced by one Queen/King size so both rooms had large beds. Argument avoided! Jose was most obliging when dealing with this request. All requests/details were confirmed via email - and sometimes text messages.

Check in (with Ilda) was also without problem - Ilda provided an explanation of all relevant items throughout the apartment and was also most helpful in directing us to the nearest (Open!) supermarket. The whole experience couldn't have lasted more than 15 mins - Ilda has this whole process down to a fine art!

Would definitely stay at this apartment again and recommend it to others planning a short stay in Lisbon. There was only 2 of us during my stay and there was plenty of room to spare - can see 4 or maybe 5 people having no problems at all with space. Of course only one bathroom (inc toilet) which may be an issue with more bodies I suppose.

The fact that this is one of the few apartments in this neighbourhood we could find that actually had an elevator (this was was a major attraction for us) and really cannot be underestimated when assessing the whole experience. If traveling with large suitcases (I was in the last week of a 6 week break) the elevator is worth its weight in gold!! Located on the 4th floor there is no way I could imagine lugging heavy suitcases up those stairs and not doing myself serious injury in the process. The elevator is almost pure luxury!!

Highly recommend this apartment - even for the elevator alone!!
