5 Stars. Would highly recommend.
This was our first trip to Lisbon, and we were so happy with our choice of lodging. The flat was in impeccable condition, very clean, bright and spacious for our party of 3 adults. It was exactly as represented in the photos. In the same lovely condition.
We were contacted by the host the day before our arrival, and he was readily available (responding immediately) day of our check-in. We notified him when we were on the way from the airport to the apartment, and we were met at the flat and given a tour where he pointed out all of the features and amenities, as well as answering any questions we had about the stay. The elevator was wonderful, as you do a lot of climbing of hills in Lisbon, so it was very nice not having to climb stairs to get to our apartment at the end of the day.
From a location perspective, the Rua Augusta was very centrally located to everything we wanted to see and do in Lisbon. It was a short walk to the Chiado, Alfama and Bairro Alto districts, as well as to the ferry station so we could explore across the river as well. The Rua Augusta itself is a beautiful street, and made for such a pleasant point of departure each time we left the flat. The restaurants and shops along the Rua Augusta can be very touristy, so my only comment would be to try and get off that street and explore when in search of a meal - we were within a couple of blocks in all directions of some truly great, authentic dining options. But we certainly took advantage of the convenient pastel de nata shops along the R. Augusta when we wanted a sweet treat.
As the most recent visitor to the Nomad's Augusta Collection - Classica, I wanted to also comment on a few previous items mentioned by prior renters. First, we did not find the apartment to be smaller than represented in the photos. The photos are extremely accurate, and we even were pleasantly surprised at the openness of the main space. One of our party is 6' 5" tall, and had no issue within the space. Additionally, we heard no noise from neighbors, or the street, as the bedrooms in the flat are in the rear so we were able to sleep with the windows open in the evenings, which was very nice. The building does make settling noises as the temperature changes in the evening, but it was nothing that detracted from our sleep or stay. Additionally, the front door looked brand new, and securely locks upon closure, so if this was an issue in the past, it is not now. Finally, there was a bottle opener, we had everything we needed kitchen-wise and more.
In summary - I would recommend Nomad City Flats, and specifically this unit, to any of my friends as a great lodging option if they were traveling to Lisbon. And I would stay here again.
