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.

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.

Alice in Wonderland!

Adorable penthouse! Right in the action but above all of the noise through the night. Great sleeping with windows open and comfortable beds! Would stay again. Clean bathroom and shower, working kitchen and washer if needed, and a table to play cards or have dinner. Would love to stay there again. Maybe I will get the chance to come back to Lisbon again...

Perfect location

I loved this apartment. So cute. With a view of the hustle and bustle. You have to walk to it from the street, but once we understood how to get there, I couldn’t have asked for a better location. It is 6 flights of stairs, but I enjoyed it being a little more active. I would definitely stay here again. Great hosts, very communicative and prompt in helping with questions, etc.

Great location and accurate listing.

The apartment was charming! Great location within walking distance of many sites/attractions. The listing is very accurate. This is a five story walk up with no lift...just as advertised...so be prepared. Low ceilings. Not a problem for us, but if you're tall, you'll do some ducking. As it says in the description there is some construction going on in the next store building that can be noisy during the day. The location is in the middle of a very touristy area, so there is street noise well into the night. Again, this should come as no surprise if you read the listing. The private rooftop terrace is awesome! The property manager was quick with responses to a couple of minor issues we had. All in all it was a great place to stay!

Perfect location downtown

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.

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.

Tolle gelegen Unterkunft für Lissabon

Geniale Lage! Da im fünften Stock gelegen, etwas mühsamer Koffertransport, leider nicht mal ein Wasserflasche im Kühlschrank, dies hätte man in einem warmen Land doch als Basic erwartet! Die Unterkunft ist perfekt für zwei, man darf nur nicht über 1,80 m groß sein. Super ist der Balkonaustritt aus beiden Fenstern, hier kann man prima morgens und abends sitzen und essen. Die Unterkunft ist in einem älteren Haus gelegen, und bedarf an vielen Stellen eines Anstrich/Renovierung, es sollte auch etwas mehr Küchenmobiliar da sein, es war leider weder ein Flaschenöffner noch ein Korkenzieher vorhanden. Die Möbel sind teilweise abgewohnt, die Lampen waren streckenweise kaputt und hatten strahlend-weiß hässliche LED Strahler. An den Dachfenstern gab es einige Stellen, an denen es im Winter wohl reingeregnet hatte. Insgesamt bedürfte das Apartment einer gründlichen Sanierung. Trotzdem war wegen der Lage unser neuntägige Aufenthalt in diesem Apartment sehr gelungen!

Water leaks and crumbling walls

Unhealthy conditions! Water pooling on the floor when we arrived and walk and ceiling had deteriorated and crumbled onto the floor. This property should not be listed. The host ignored our messages so we left and booked a hotel. We spent hours in chat and phone with Vrbo and still trying to get a refund. We strongly recommend to not stay here.

Great location and balcony

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.

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.
