  : Superb location - walking distance to most historic sites and tons of restaurants and bakeries around. Also trolley 28 runs on the street.
  : Overall it was not luxury apartment but it was perfect for a few days with friends. Lights were a bit dingy and there was no bathroom fan which was strange.

Very Good

  : The location is really great, in the heart of the town, 2 steps away from the Bica Funicular and on the 28 tramway route. The metro station is also close by, so this make this accommodation a great point to visit Lisbon. There are some restaurants close by, a mini mart if you want to stay indoor, a bakery and a breakfast place nearby. Overall, the flat was roomy, well equipped. It is also pleasant to have the possibility to leave your luggage at the reception like in the hotel.
  : The location and the roomy flat weren't enough to make us not hear the loud music every night except on Sundays.So if you plan to enjoy Lisbon at night, that won't be a big problem. But if you plan day visits and sleeping, then go away. The music is loud up to at least 2am/2.30am on weekdays and further on Friday and Saturday. Earplugs did not help. It might not be a problem if you have a room on the back side...! But we had a room on the street side. The street is noisy because of the tram. But that is okay, we knew it in advance and we could deal with it.The insulation is really poor. If the flats downstairs and upstairs are occupied, you live with them too. At the time we were staying we clearly had neighbours not used to live in a building with such poor insulation. So noisy steps and walks across the flat, loud music and loud voices. The poor insulation problem is also in the bathroom were we could here our neighbour relieve himself.The bed isn't great at all. Because you can't sleep at night it makes things even worse. The mattress is very soft. The bed squeaks. Given the location, the rate and the rest of the equipments, a 140 cm width bed feels a bit small. The bed sheets aren't of a good quality. That might be details, but when you don't sleep, you don't rest and you are not encline to find everything amazing!The switches and the faucets have funny settings. Not very practical or not well thought of. In the shower the shower hose is at the top of the wall...Poor lighting in the kitchen and in the bathroom. No light around the mirror for exemple.The entrance door has a big gap so whenever someone is going upstairs or downstairs you can fully enjoy their conversation...So all those "little" things add up.As explained in the hotel description and comments, the stairs are very steeps. We knew it in advance and it was ok for us. So do keep that in mind too.

  : We did find the address a little hard to find, but once we located the reception the host was fabulous. She helped carry our bags up the stairs which was so kind.
  : The stairs are a challenge - but it was worth it being on the top story - we loved the apartment
