Pros: This apartment is beautiful and the view from the top floor is gorgeous. The location is fantastic — steps from great restaurants, not far from the river and close to places to see fado performances. The hosts were awesome, extremely attentive. Check in and check out were very easy.
Cons: Each night, there was loud noise from people down below. It was therefore difficult to sleep in the room with the larger bed. I also wish we’d known about the steep stairs. You have to take stairs to the apartment, more stairs to the level with the bedrooms and more stairs up to the eating area. It was not ideal for my parents who are in their 70s. The WiFi is relatively fast on the top floor, but not fast enough for Skype calls or consistent video streaming on the floor with the bedrooms. Also, the pictures make the space look larger than it is. The rooms are very small, so make sure you stay here with people you don’t mind being in tight quarters with!
