Midweek Lissabon

Het appartement ligt in een gezellige buurt. Niet al te groot, wel 2 badkamers. Prima voor een paar dagen Lissabon.

No air conditioning!

The apartment is, indeed, in the heart of a lively neighborhood, full of good restaurants, cafes and friendly hosts. We loved that! However, plan for hiking up or down steep hills. There’s no way around it. The southern flat area of the river is 5 minutes away going down, via a picturesque staircase, which you’ll have to climb up when you come back! We had to do this at 97 Fahrenheit, which was not fun. The apartment is on the 4th floor, with no elevator. The staircase is very steep and narrow. If you travel with heavy/bulky luggage, going up and down is a challenge. Actually, with or without luggage, it’s a challenge! At check in, the gentleman that received us helped us with our luggage. The really uncomfortable thing about the apartment is that it had no air conditioning. There were only 2 fans for 3 sleeping areas, including the sofa bed. The management was considerate and allowed me to go purchase 2 fans the afternoon we arrived, right before the stores closed for the day; and offered to reimburse me for the expense. Communication with them flowed easily during the process of buying the fans. Still, the heat was brutal and it was not a pleasant stay without a/c. The beds were comfortable, the sofa bed not so much. There’s plenty of space to put the luggage in the dining room, but no space for it in the master bedroom. The nightstands and vanities are tiny. The bathroom had nowhere to hang towels. The second bedroom has an area where you can open a foldable drying rack to dry towels or your clothes. The kitchen supplies are in good shape. The apartment is clean. If you come from a culture where air conditioning is important, do not stay here during summer. Otherwise, have fun with the unique hills and staircases!

Great time in Lisbon

We had a wonderful stay at this apartment in Lisbon. The apartment was well appointed and very clean. The couch bed was a bit uncomfortable for our 17 year old, but it was manageable. If you are traveling with young kids, keep in mind that at night it can be a bit loud if you leave the windows open. There is no a/c. This was not a problem for us. We enjoyed listening to the music and watching the dancing from the apartment. We were in a great location for all the area attractions. The owners were responsive to our questions and requests. We would definitely stay at this location again.

So many choices

There are at least 20 amazing restaurants, cafes and bars within 250 metes of the apartment. Central to the waterfront and Chiado but still quiet. Very comfortable, clean and well taken care of.
