The apartment is bright and very spacious, which for us is very important since my partner and I both work remotely and have frequent calls and meetings. We loved the dining table, it was big enough to host Zoom meetings, research work and homemade food at the same time:)
We had several experiences in Lisbon where the photos didn't match the current state of the apartment, but this is not the case. What you see is what you get. Good value for the money. Check-in effortless and the hosts were there to answer any questions quite quickly.
There were plenty of extra blankets and kitchen appliances were covering our basic cooking needs:)
You might feel an unpleasant smell in the bathrooms from time to time (quite typical for Lisbon old buildings), but that is not in the hosts' hands anyway.
Being a bit far from downtown was rather an advantage to us, we were looking for a quite place. You have several supermarkets around and a wonderful bakery where we used to get our fresh bread in the mornings. (For bread lovers - Gleba bakery offers amazing fresh bread)
For gym enthusiasts like us, we had several gyms in walking distance and even a sports nutrition store.
