Wow. I cannot say enough about this apartment. It is spacious, well equipped, and in the middle of the Chiado neighborhood, which is close to EVERYTHING. The bathroom is huge for European standards. The bed is super comfortable. But the jewel of this apartment is the VIEW and that gorgeous patio. It made me never want to leave. I could have drank coffee and transitioned into wine as the day went on from that patio, looking at the orange rooftops with the water in the distance.
The apartment is one of four on the third floor of the building. The four units share a hallway behind a locked door, and a common clothes dryer. I never heard anyone and only saw one other couple as Rui was checking them in. It’s completely private.
I also cannot say enough about the hosts. Their communication was top notch. They left a nice welcoming gift of chocolates and wine for us, which were delicious. There are tons of dining recommendations left in the apartment also. The cold water weirdly shut off one day and they responded and fixed the issue in less than 30 minutes.
Book this apartment. You won’t regret it.
