Fantastic location and view in Chiado!
Two of us stayed in this apartment for 10 nights in October 2024 and had a wonderful time! Trust the listing...this is an historic building and there are five flights of stairs to get to the apartment. The stairs are worth it but they're real.
Pros and cons below.
PROS:
* Wonderful location and view - lots to walk to and close to several public transportation options.
* Prompt communication from property manager, Joao
* Spacious apartment, lots of light, high ceilings
* Washing machine came in handy for a long stay
* Well-stocked kitchen
* Strong wifi that remained consistently connected during the 10 days we were there.
CONS:
* The outside door is not marked with the address, so we struggled for a while to find the entrance. After a long day of travel, this wasn't ideal. It would be helpful to have a picture of the door or a note about which stores are on each side in the check-in instructions.
* It's an old building and has old building charm, but it also has a few old building issues. Joao was very responsive when we ran into problems and made things right, but I agree with the other reviews that the apartment could use some attention and repairs. The issues we ran into (leak during the rain, outlets not working) were minor and did not impact the satisfaction with our stay.
* For a longer stay, it would have been nice to have a few extra pillows, towels, and blankets.
Overall we were very happy with our stay and it was a great home base for our trip!
