Overall this is a newly refurbished flat excellently fitted. Other guests should note that the street photos on Google are dated 2019, and since this date all the renovation work in the area has been completed so this is no longer a concern. There are three flights of stairs with no lift to enter the flat, which is a duplex. While the flat is of high quality, the attention to detail could be improved. For example: there are no small coffee tables in the lounge/terrace; the kitchen cupboards need a small set of steps unless you are very tall; there are no hooks or places to hang wet towels; and there was no basic household provision, e.g. provision of waste disposal bags and tablets for the new dishwasher.
As the roads around the flat are pedestrianised (we saw no taxi’s near the flat day or night over 5 days) to access the flat by taxi ask to be dropped at Starbucks on R de Mouzinho de Silveira, about 100m from the flat entry. Finally, if you need a small supermarket then you’ll find one on Largo dos Loios, about 300m from the flat.
It would be useful if the flat host could make some of the above practical information available to future guests, to further enhance their visit, rather than supplying the information if requested.
