The partner is in a great location centrally located for walking to many of Lisboa’s best spots. Access was super easy and markets were close by as was convenient parking. We loved the space and the homey feel while traveling.
We really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect and the flat was clean, albeit a bit worn. We would recommend for short people who don't mind stairs :)) We would stay here again!
Located in the heart of the city. Walking distance to all attractions. Great balcony. As you are in the heart of the city it can be noisy at night. Overall great place.
Overall, this property was great for a short stay and a few adults who don't mind climbing some stairs to get to the apartment. Located on a bustling street with tons of vendors, restaurants, cafes and great views. Apartment was accurate per the listing and we had no issues during the stay. Would recommend and I'd stay there again myself.
Overall, a nice place to stay. Very central location. As others mentioned, expect many stairs and short ceilings. Fortunately, our family is in decent shape and relatively short. The only downsides, though minor, were uneven shower water temps and a tiny ironing board.
This property is in a great location and we enjoyed the rooftop patio each night. 5 flights of stairs make for a challenging climb but was worth the effort. Tall travelers beware of low ceilings and door thresholds.
Excellent location on the main road of the city. Walking up and down 5 flights of stairs a few times a day was a bit of a chore. Nice little oasis right in the middle of the city.
The location is absolutely perfect to explore Lisbon and the surrounding areas. Offsite parking in a safe public underground garage is only a short walk away and included in the price. The apartment was well cleaned and stocked with all basics on arrival. The interior is an open floor plan. Having 2 mini-split ac units available is tremendous for a good night's sleep in this top floor spot. You can enjoy breakfast or hang out at night to watch city lights/life on the streets on the small rooftop terrace.
=> Would rent again without any hesitation.

Nice little apartment
The apartment was nice. Ceilings are very low and it’s a big climb to reach it, but this was made clear before we rented. Bathroom was excellent and very clean. The stairs up to the second bedroom are very difficult to navigate, but the beds we’re comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped and clean but there was a small issue wt ants on the counter. You are right in the heart of the tourist section so everything is walkable. But it is quite loud till 11pm so not a peaceful location. Overall it we enjoyed our stay.
Location is right on the main pedestrian street.
The street can be somewhat noisy, but it goes quiet at 2300.
I'm 186 cm, and I could walk upright though I brushed my hair against the ceiling. Note that the doorframes are a lot lower, so I had to bend down to not bang my head when moving from room to room. In the shower I could only stand in the narrow space in between the support beams.
We didn't notice that smell from the bathroom as others have complained about. Perhaps it's a seasonal thing.
The balcony is facing west, so it'll have the afternoon sun.
This apt is in the middle of all the shopping and restaurants. Walkable to historic sites. 5 levels of stairs but makes it worth the nice view from the patio. Property manage very responsive to questions.
As described, including the stairs lol, but absolutely perfect for my friend and my visit to Lisbon. Comfy beds, nice sheets, plenty of hot water and a wonderful perch above the crowded street. Would stay again!
Check in process was super precise and easy. Great location, walking to distance to all major sites and restaurants. Would’ve given five stars if there was AC in upstairs Bedroom and if weren’t a five story walk up.
