Wonderful

We really enjoyed our stay here. The host was very easy to communicate with and had very good English. The location is close to the metro, train and lots of restaurants. It had all the amenities needed.
The condo was just as advertised. Well equipped for long term stay. The location is perfect. Only a short walk to main down town of the old town. Close to metro, buses, trains and trolly. Would recommend.
Great apartment. It's was perfect for our stay in Lisbon. Everything was clean and our check-in person was very helpful. There are quite a few flights of stairs and he carried all of our heavy luggage. Location of the apartment is good. Close enough to attractions.
Everything was fine. You have all, what you need. Good place to start exploring the city. Many tiny little restaurants around with various original Portugues dishes but also from other nationalties.
Very recommendable.
We stayed at the property for 28 days. It was accurately depicted on the website. The apartment was comfortable for my husband and I. The steps from the ground entrance were daunting but manageable. Overall the location was great for our needs but the neighborhood could be noisy at times in the evening.

The property was just up a rather steep hill from Rossio Square. Good for Metro stop therefore.
Many local convenience stores. Also very convenient for local restaurants, we didn’t try the Senegal restaurant that the flat is above, weren’t brave enough! Ate at Two others within 50 yards of the Apartment and had some very good value typical Portuguese food. Although very close to more touristy areas, it was on a steep street with very ‘local’ vibe.
Clean apartment with weekly cleaning service. Central location that we could walk to all the sights. Also close to train station. We took the train north to Porto for three days one week….and then went south to the Algarve district for three days the following week. We found the best restaurants for value and authentic Portuguese flavor were just down the block from the apartment.
I will say you need to be in shape or take your time for the hill and stairs getting back to the apartment after a day out.
The apartment was great wery comfotrable and spacious. TV has many channels and some of them are on English. WI-FI was fast. Location was great too. Meeting the host was very easy and pleasant. The only negative was the smell from street level Senegalese restaurant, fortunately once the front windows are closed and back opened the smell is not felt.

Good location
Extremely loud. Neighborhood friendly but people party from 5pm until 2 or 3 am. Which means you have to shut the windows to sleep, and the apartment is hot with just one little fan. If you're a sound sleeper then this apartment is for you. If you're not in shape, then the stairs will be difficult. Overall rating: average at best.

Kudos to Sandro
Pretty clean overall. Noisey but friendly neighborhood at a.m. and p.m. requiring sleeping in the back bedroom. The apt could be better appointed as far as household supplys. Needs new nonslip mat for outside shower stall, as the floor tile is slick. Accident waiting to happen there. Sandro the manager, is awesome.

Some unpleasant surprises.
There was an infestation of bedbugs while I was in residence. I told the host about the problem. but they didn't believe me. At last, I found a bug on the pillow and suddenly, they wanted for me to get out of the apartment. The apartment was in an area half way up a steep hill and after a full day of activities was quite a trek. I didn't realize it was a third story walk-up and so I developed stronger muscles for climbing the hill and the stairs. It was clean and well-laid out.
Alexandra was brilliant from the time of booking until we arrived. As with previous reviews, you do need to be relativley fit to get up the hill, and still have enough strength to climb the narrow stairs to the apartment. The appartment is compact but full of Lisbon character. Yes it can get noisy but you are in a capital city so should be expected. The double glazing prevents most of it, although it may be an issue when its hot and they need to be opened. Shout out to Sandro who met us and helped us with our luggage, really helpful and knowledgable, thank you. Lisbon has plenty of old character and has become our favorite city we have visited.
We had an ok stay at this property! First & foremost the stairs are treacherous!!! Five steep flights on the narrow dark staircase would not be ideal for everyone.
The condo is in need of an update. The pillows are terribly flat. Coffee maker didn’t work.
The location is good we walked for dinner every night.
We found it very hard to get any sleep as there’s a African restaurant right beside which has people & children outside screaming all hours of the night! If you had the windows closed it was too hot in the condo.
We still enjoyed ourselves & Lisbon but we like to be truthful in our reviews.
Basic amenities with enough to cook for yourself and do laundry.
The location is amazing. If you enjoy walking and immersing yourself in the local culture, this is the place to do it. Plenty of local shopping, tons of terrific historical sites, and all the local flavor you could ask for. We walked and used public transit for an entire week, and still didn't get to see everything we could have from this location.
If you want my suggestion, get fit and wear comfortable shoes. None of the walking is leisurely, but it's worth doing. If it's your first time in Portugal and appreciate history, walk to the Lisboa Story Centre first. It will give you a great historical context for everything else you'll see during your visit.
Saldo met us at the property to show us some basic functions (the lighting in the stairs are on a timer). He is a terrific person to be greeted by and made to feel welcome.
Thank you!
It's true what others have said....
The place is cute and functional.
The smell from the Sengalese restaurant can be a lot if the windows are open.
There were people from the restaurant sitting on our step/stoop but agreeably moved when we asked. No issues.
The hills and the stairs can be alot too, so leave your cute sandals home. :D
The only disappointment was we couldn't even leave the windows cracked at night for air bc of street conversations that carried and ricocheted around the street until super late hours, even 3:30am one night. Closing all windows warmed the apartment pretty quick and there was only 1 fan although we requested a second it never showed up which made sleeping not entirely comfortable.
My 15 year-old son and I stayed for 7 days during our first trip to Lisbon. I loved the location--just minutes from Rossio Square and the metro. We were able to walk nearly everywhere. Just be aware that the walk and stairs to the apartment are small and steep. We were fortunate to have Sandro's help getting our small suitcases upstairs. Regarding the home, some of the neighbors can get a little loud--but I just shut the window if it became bothersome. (The weather was so nice, I kept the window and doors to the balcony most of the time we were there. The room was very clean and comfy for a small family. Aside from the microwave, refrigerator, and washing machine, we didn't use much of the kitchen--but it is very well set-up for those who like to cook. There are a couple of mercados nearby for necessities.
The water pressure was enjoyably strong and warm (sometimes too hot!)--so there are no worries about cold showers here! The beds were comfy and perfect for resting after long days of sight-seeing. I'd highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!
The property is exactly as pictured, extremely clean, very well equipped with lots of little extras too and very welcoming.
Alexandra arranged for us to meet with her colleague Sandro at the apartment and kindly allowed us to drop off our bags early. We were slightly delayed so really grateful he waited for us. Communication with Sandro and Alexandra was excellent. We read reviews from some people who complained about the smell from the restaurants next door but have to say we never experienced any smells at all. We ate twice at the restaurant next door at No 49. Really simple restaurant with a lovely proprietor, freshly well cooked meat and fish, enormous portions, no frills but lovely atmosphere and so cheap compared to restaurants in town. Apartment is just a few meters from the bakery where we bought our cakes for breakfast, cheese and ham cobs for our last day and expresso coffee is only 50c. Nothing Alexandra can control, but each evening we went out and returned someone we believe either from the Senegal restaurant next door at no. 41 or from another apartment in the block was sitting on the doorstep of the entrance to the apartment but they were polite, apologised and moved away for us to enter. The apartment is is a good central location and only 5 mins from Rossio Metro station
Per quanto riguarda la struttura di per se nulla da dire,piccolina ma pulita e dotata di tutto quello che serve.
Discorso a parte merita l’ingresso in comune e la vicinanza di un ristorante etnico Senegalese,h24 puzza molto fastidiosa di cibo,spezie e altri odori non ben identificati.
In casa in realtà l odore si sentiva poco ma a novembre le finestre sono chiuse ,in altri periodi dell’anno sicuramente la cosa risulterà sgradevole.
Peccato per questo particolare che abbassa la qualità del soggiorno visto che la comunicazione con la proprietà e la pulizia è impeccabile come la vicinanza al centro della città.

Nice remodel, dangerous stairs
The unit itself is convenient to Rossio Square. It is up a steep hill and you must ascend 3 flights of stairs that have no handrails in order to reach the apartment. It is above two restaurants and the smells can become overwhelming. The hallway and stairs are dirty. The unit itself is comfortable but if you struggle with stairs, do not stay here. I always felt safe.
The property was very conveniently located just a short (but very steep) walk from either Rossio or Martim Moniz metro stations. We found it comfortable with a few highly rated restaurants conveniently within 200m.
Well equipped and very comfortable apartment in a super location. As others have said, it's quite a steep climb to get there but very well worth it. It can be noisy at night but only from people talking - no loud music - and it didn't bother us. It was nice to hear the sounds of Lisbon life. We enjoyed our 4 day stay. Thank you.
