  : Every night 100s of people partied loudly outside our windows until 3, 4 and 5am. Couldnt sleep. NO privacy whatsoever at any time. Blinds had to be kept closed. Claustrophobic. Had to move bed onto floor for 2 people to sleep in it so no living room space at all. Misleading photos of accommodation. Hot water took forever to arrive.

  : The most terrible accommodation I have ever experienced in my 100+ bookings. Dirts and grime everywhere together with hair, pictures are enclosed. Heavily used furniture - a sofa that was falling apart, appalling and absolutely inadequate equipment in the kitchen. We could survive all this but a disaster comes around 22:00 where right below the apartment several bars bring out loud speakers and start a party that does not end before 4 AM. It is purely impossible to sleep until then as the apartment does not have any sound proof isolation, just thin wooden windows. We booked this tragedy for 3 nights but had to leave it the next day as our children did not sleep at all. Then we had to spend additional 300 EUR for alternative accommodation. This apartment is suitable just for party devils who enjoy bars downstairs and do not care about cleanliness and equipment. No one else should ever go there.

  : Great location
  : Terrible noice coming from the downstair bars all night long. Couch was leather but it was so worn out that it was spreading these black little fabric pieces all over our clothes when we sat there also they have a treath note in the bathroom that if there is any make-up on the towels, theyll charge you 40 + new towels. This really stressed us out because its impossible to wash your face so that no make-up would get on the towels we spent the whole vacation wondering if theyre gonna charge us two hundred euros for towels because they dont know how to clean them properly

  : Spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipped apartment with a beautiful view in the middle of picturesque Barrio Alto, with many, many restaurants and bars in the vicinity. Many good bakers and small shops around. It was beautiful to sit with open windows and listen to fado singers in the bar right below. Walking distance to beautiful viewpoints, downtown, subway and the train to Cascais, should you want a beach day. Very practical solution for self check in and check out.
  : While the location is beautiful and very practical, it is also in the middle of a lot of partying. The windows muffle some of the noise, and not all nights were equally noisy, but both Wednesday and Friday night we were kept awake by very loud partying. Not music- just really really noisy tourists who had had way too many carpirinas. Bring earplugs! Also, we found one decent marked near Rossio (pingo doce), but not really the place to be if you enjoy going to supermarkets for local produce and selection.
