Amazing Lisboa week!
My family spent a week at the apartment in June of 2024. The apartment is in Alfama, just down the road from the cathedral Sé so was incredibly convenient base to explore the city: Praça do Comércio is an short walk away, the Castillo, in the opposite direction, was a short walk away as well. The Santa Apolonia train station is also fairly close, although with narrow streets can be tricky navigating to find your way to the apartment, but definitely walkable.
The apartment is on the third floor and while there is an elevator, it was not working so it was steep climb of stairs, but wasn’t an issue for us—but it’s not for everyone since the stairs are basically double height per floor. The apartment is bright and airy and you can see the Rio Tejo from the dining room and living room. And despite not being 100% spotless, it is definitely acceptably clean and was fairly comfortable. But there were a few things not functioning or were quirkily not right (one of the doors to balcony didn’t open, AC in living room didn’t work (the one in bedroom was great and strong), only one trash bag supplied, wine openers and fans were comically unusable) but none of these distracted from our enjoyment of the apartment—I communicated with the rental company and they offered to have someone come out to address, which we didn’t need).
Overall, a wonderful stay in a lovely apartment. We would definitely stay at the apartment again, and in fact, we hope to when we return to Lisboa!
