This was an outstanding stay for our first trip to Lisbon. The apartment was equipped with everything we needed and the proximity to so many amazing restaurants and tourist sites made this a perfect launchpad for each day. I have to commend the host team on their communication and an extra shout out for some speedy help they provided early on during our stay. I would love to stay here again!

Great location in Lisbon, with many cool bars and restaurants nearby. Property is a beautifully refurbished 19th-century building and apartment. Sleeping rooms are at the rear of the building, well away from street noise. Host/staff were quite attentive, helpful, and easily reachable by WhatsApp. Three-floor walk-up access to apartment by steep irregular stairway may surprise people not used to 200-year-old southern European buildings. Some amenities in the apartment had been broken by previous guests (bathroom mirror and shower door) and were not replaced during our three-week stay (this is not entirely within the control of the hosts). Overall, a very good experience. Note: this property lacks a dedicated comfortable work station or desk, so if that's something you require, be advised.
