This was our first trip to Lisbon and we were 2 adults with 3 teenagers.
The apartment itself is great. It’s big, and clean, and comfortable with a/c in every room.
The location however left us disappointed as there aren’t any choices for cafes or bakeries ( there’s only one close by) or good quality grocery shops (only South Asian specific Delis) in the immediate vicinity, which as a family of five staying for two weeks was necessary for us. The closest grocery shop was far enough that we had to take a cab back to the apartment with a few bags of groceries.
Also, be aware that if you arrive before 3pm which is the official check-in time, you can leave your luggage at their office but for an additional fee of 5 Euros per bag.
I don’t know about you but I expected this service to be free when I’m paying $4000 for a two week stay, especially when flight times are not optional and you have to take what you get.
Additionally, I thought I was renting from Joana & Raquel (whom we never met) which sounds personal but we were actually dealing with a company and everything was handled in the same way; Impersonal and ‘corporate’ style. Which is not necessarily bad, but not what we expected at all.
Overall, we loved the space but we will rent somewhere with more traveler friendly shops and eateries around.
