Amazing location, lovely apartment
The location of this apartment is superb!
You are a few minutes walk from from Avenida de Liberdade and the metro station there, and also from Martim Moniz square and station, making all the key places in Lisbon easily accessible. The neighbourhood itself is surprisingly quiet at night despite being so central, so you're not in a party area like Barrio Alto.
The apartment is nothing much from the outside but is spacious and welcoming. It would especially suit people wanting a longer stay as you have a good sized, well-equipped kitchen and a large living room/dining room which is unusual in rental apartments like this.
There is A/C in the bedrooms and sitting room, and shutters on the windows for shade/privacy/noise reduction.
The owner and local manager are very friendly and helpful. For example. the previous guests had damaged a tap but it was quickly repaired by the manager. The owner kindly let us leave bags there until we flew on the last day, which was great.
This apartment isn't ultra modern - it's a historic place so it has some character, but it's clean, comfortable and practical.
The one downside we found is that the sound insulation between floors doesn't seem to be great, so we could hear the upstairs neighbours very easily. If you're a very light sleeper this might be an issue, but it didn't bother us too much.
I suggest checking out Jardim do Torel ... it's less than 5 minutes walk and its a lovely place to sit or sunbathe.
