First, the location is perfect for exploring the western part of central Lisbon (west of Biaxa). It is an easy walk down a short hill to the waterfront or up the hill through Chiado and nearby neighbourhoods. It is off a trolley line for quick access to more distant neighbourhoods, but with that proximity comes some street noise in the flat. Nothing loud enough that it would prevent us from starting again. Since the flat is located on the lower hill, it is away from the denser commercial area of Chiado which we found advantageous - a slightly more residential feel. Great spot to launch just about any journey around Lisbon!
While the flat offers parking, skip the car (unless you plan to rent one for day trips beyond Lisboa). You’re in walking distance to everything and getting in and out of the garage can be awkward (rent a small car)!
The flat is spacious and has plenty of light. The two full bathrooms made getting ready in the mornings and evenings a breeze. The living room is quite large with plenty of seating to relax and the eat-in kitchen has ample space to prepare dinner or enjoy breakfast before exploring the city. Understanding how to operate the cooktop was a bit of a challenge (there were no instructions for the induction cooktop). But the situation added to the adventure of being in Lisbon, and everyone finally ate.
Overall, this is a nice place. I’d stay here again!
