Lisbon is one of my favorite cities and I frequently come in holiday.
PROS:
Great location - only 1 hill to climb from the river, which was amazing on long days. Plenty of amazing restaurants, great coffee shop on the corner, only a few minute walk from Rossio station, and great area of town to establish a ‘home base.’
Apartment was well equipped - washer, dryer, kitchen was well prepared with pots, pans, wine opener, etc. You get great morning light, lovely view from the balcony (not a seated balcony), and the building has a lift!
Communication was great! Claudio assisted me during the stay and he was always quick to respond and very professional and friendly!! 🤍
CONS:
Air conditioner didn’t work the entire stay we were there. Luckily, it’s Lisbon so floor to ceiling windows and mold temperatures meant the windows could be opened to keep the apartment ventilated.
No espresso machine, which is quite strange for the EU, but as mentioned before there was a coffee shop on the corner only a few steps away.
The bed, for me, was quite hard, but I prefer beds to be on the softer side. I was very grateful for the extra pillows, blankets, and bedding supplies - it helped make it all more comfortable.
I would definitely come back to this apartment again for the value, location, and host.
