Gorgeous apartment in a fantastic location. Stunning architecture with a unique view into the historic Mercado de Bolhão.
Super convenient to the metro, buses, and shopping. With three grocery stores on the block, the adjacency to the market, and many good restaurants in the area, you will eat well. Great location to walk to the major tourist destinations and Ribera, explore the hip neighborhood of Almeda, shop along Santa Catarina, or people watch at Aliados.
The bed is comfortable, kitchen has all the basics, internet is strong, there’s a washing machine and good A/C. The ambient light in the apartment is incredible, but the task lighting leaves a lot to be desired. Improvements are needed in lighting and ventilation in the bathroom.
Housekeeping was intermittent and overall cleanliness could be improved.
With the windows closed and A/C on, noise was not an issue. With the windows open, it’s pretty loud. The apartment is on the second floor of a busy cobblestone street so set your noise expectations accordingly.
Neighborhood seemed safe and I felt very comfortable walking around alone at any time of day or night.
