My husband and I stayed here at the end of March for 5 nights. There were pros and cons to the apartment, and for us there were things that we didn’t like that mean we wouldn’t stay here again, but overall it was ok.
Pros: good value, decent location with most things in walking distance, lovely terrace to catch the sun, nice kitchen, Anabela is a great host!
Cons: there were a couple of things not on the description when we booked (and at that point there were no reviews) that I think if we had known in advance would have put us off booking here. For example, the apartment is accessed by walking through a phone shop, which we didn’t really like, and up lots of stairs. There is building work going on in the rest of the building which meant it was quite shabby and the stairs up were very dusty. The bathroom is really tiny and smells pretty badly of drains which wasn’t very nice. The bedrooms also have no space to hang things up or unpack anything, and so we used the second bedroom for our suitcases and clothes. Absolutely agree with another review that this place is fine for two people but too small for four based on the size of the bathroom and nowhere to put things in the bedrooms.
As I say, overall the apartment was ok but I wouldn’t recommend it to friends. I would however recommend Anabela as a host, as all the communication and check in was brilliant, and she was super friendly and helpful. I know she and her husband have other listings in Lisbon so I would definitely look to stay in a different Airbnb hosted by them in the future, just not this one sadly.
