    Nothing, just cooking pots a bit limited. A pity to stay with windows closed and air conditioning on because of mosquitos without benefit of the beautiful terrace. But it’s a very hot August

    Large apartment with beautiful terrace, air conditioning and TV in every room. Performing wi-fi 600-700 m from 3 different Metro lines. Supermarket very close. Dishwasher, microwave and Dolce Gusto coffee machine

    WiFi instructions incorrect - but resolved chatting with host. Some additional supplies would have been nice e.g. shower gel.

    Rooms are a good size, nice balcony area although views not wonderful. Very helpful hosts. Good kitchen, coffee machine, corkscrew available! Very good price. Location is not near centre but easy to take metro in/out. There are some good restaurants/cafes nearby. Elevator to 7th floor, some steps up to 8th floor. Penultimate day was the big power cut - good exercise walking up stairs and we were grateful the water still worked!

    Lounge is made up of a sofa bed and 2 dining chairs which was fine for 2 of us staying. Probably not so comfortable if you were staying in all evening and there were 4 of you.

    Decently spacious apartment in quiet area. Great terraces - one accessed from kitchen, other one accessed from both bedrooms and the hall. Fantastic to have breakfast outside and to read and relax on the sun loungers. Air con is quick at cooling the room. Lidl supermarket is around the corner. Great location. Direct metro line from the airport to Sao Sebastian metro stop. Easy to get into the city via metro which is an easy system to use. The 24 hour transport pass is well worth it - we used it from airport to apartment, to go into the city, went on the Santa Justa lift, returned to apartment and then we used again in the morning on the tram to get to Belem. From apartment it is about 12 min walk to Entrecampos train station to get the train to Sintra, which is less busy than the Sintra train from City centre Rossio station. O Funil 1971 restaurant is a Portuguese cuisine a few minutes walk away, where we had a lovely meal. Food was great and service was attentive and knowledgeable.

    Ceiling is quite low, which makes an impression of a very small rooms. But it's not a big issue, unless for tall people.

    In a quite area, but close to the main part of the city. Has two big rooftop teraces. Nice apartment, clean, had everything needed to cook. Has airconditioners in every room. For sure a nice place to stay!

    The door that opened to the terrace from the bedrooms didn't have clear glass and so the bedrooms didn't have a view and were dark. Some of the doorknobs were hard to turn. Parts of the kitchen floor, kitchen counter and bathroom counter show signs of usage and need to be spruced up.

    The apartment was clean with sufficient space. The staff was polite and responsive to our needs . There were some issues with the remote of the heaters but this was sorted to our satisfaction. The beds were very comfortable.

    Really minor thing because the apartment had almost everything we could want utensil wise but some wine glasses would have been nice.

    The apartment is on the very top of a block in a great location close to metro, supermarkets, bars and restaurants. There is a rooftop terrace either side of the apartment which we used alot. Intact on our second day we didn't leave until the evening time preferring instead to enjoy the sunshine!

    The Elevator ends on floor 7 and you have to carry your luggage up some stairs. Also it's on the airport flight path so you do get airplane noise (but my husband loved that).

    Situated out of the main tourist area, this apartment is in a very good location close to the metro, train and bus stations. It had plenty of restaurants and bars close by, we had no trouble finding food, groceries or ATM's. We went everywhere from here, even Sintra with no problems. The apartment is a bit dated, but with so much space. 2 bedrooms, a kitchen and sitting room but the best thing was its a penthouse, and had 2 big terraces to sit outside. The hosts communicated well and we had no issues checking in, except the apartment does not have a clear number identifying it but it wasnt a problem. Overall, a good place to stay with everything you need.

    Getting into the place was a real chore - scratching our heads we stood outside a block of flats with an access-controlled door! After a phone call we were sent the external door access code and the apartment door key code. The apartment is actually on the 8th floor, it's their reception that's on the 7th but, although there aren't many different doors on those two floors, none of them - including the reception and the apartment - is numbered or marked in any way. I was wary of knocking on the wrong door and handing over my €20 Tourist Tax to a complete stranger.

    Top floor with rooftop balcony, very roomy, clean and quiet. About 10 minutes walk from the S. Sebastio Metro which we thought was the best one to use (Other end of the line from the airport). Absolutely surrounded by local shops, takeaways and restaurants. For those not so mobile - the lift goes to the 7th floor and then you need to walk up some stairs to the 8th.

    Beds are very hard, the appartment is on the top floor and in direct path of airplaines to and from the aiport. Allot of noise from them. The seating area makes no sense, its not a couch but an extra bed you cannot really sit on. Only place to sit at a table was out on the balcony.

    We stayed at this apartment for 4 nights and found it to be spacious and well-suited for a summer vacation. The two large terraces are a definite highlight, and the location is quite convenient. However, for colder weather, I wouldn’t recommend it. The bedrooms have small windows with no insulation, and the terrace doors are poorly sealed, resulting in a constant draft throughout the apartment. On chilly days, it actually felt colder inside than outside. At night, you could feel the air blowing on your neck while trying to sleep. The air conditioning setup also isn’t ideal. In one bedroom, the unit blows directly onto the bed, making it uncomfortable to run overnight. In the other room, the AC had little effect because the cold draft from the terrace door offset any warmth. Additionally, there are no ironing facilities provided, which was a bit inconvenient during our stay. Overall, a great place for summer, but not suitable for cooler seasons or for guests who need certain basic amenities.

    When we arrived on the eight floor of the building there were two doors with lockers and no indication on them which is the Elias apartment. We tried to open the safety lock on both before understanding which the correct place. It would be nice to put some door sign with the name. The apartment is located on the airport flight path and the noise from the airplanes woke us up in the morning. Maybe a soundproof expert could give you an advice on how to reduce the noise. Otherwise everything else was great.

    The apartment is nice, clean and spacious. The kitchen is equipped with all necessary things: tea bags, coffee pods. Both beds were comfortable to sleep. The location is good, there are small bakeries and restaurants around. We arrived in the late evening with a direct bus from the airport and walked around 10 min to the property. The neighbourhood seems safe. We received on the same day the instructions for the self check-in. Before arriving the host recommended us a restaurant and bakery on the same street and also advised us on the best way to get to our following destination and we are thankful for that.

    Worst value for money experience I have ever had in Lisbon
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Apartment with Terrace
    • Stayed 11 nights

    This apartment is located on the 8th floor of the building, occupying part of the converted non-living space on the roof. This means three things: i) you take the elevator to the 7th floor and then walk a flight of stairs to your apartment, ii) you’re staying next to the elevator machine room, which is quiet noisy, and iii) two of the rooms in the apartment have no windows (most likely original storage rooms) and the ceilings are low, so you risk hitting your head on one of the beams. As if this wasn’t enough, the furniture is old and seems to be an afterthought, a mishmash of hand-me-down trinkets put together just because something had to be there. The building is in clear need of some upkeep, there are two elevators, but only the one next to the trash containers was working while we were there, and the smell was consistently foul. And even that elevator stopped working once, so for about 24h we had to climb 8 floors to our apartment, and we noticed that the stairs along the way were sometimes occupied with rubbish, which I’m sure would be a problem in case there was an emergency. The cherry on top, the other residents of the building, probably the owners or long-time renters were very unfriendly (I can only guess that this short-term rental is a cause of tension and problems in the building and the guests like us are made to feel it). We asked for another set of keys, because we rented the apartment as a couple, and it took them three days to give it to us. We stayed for 11 nights, and we we’re never asked if we wanted to have fresh linen or if we needed the housekeeping to clean the apartment, which we wouldn’t mind paying extra for. Although we paid for the tourism taxes upon arrival, afterwards we received several automatic emails asking for the payment of the tourism taxes. I often travel to Lisbon and rented several apartments in this neighborhood and this is by far the worst value for money experience I have ever had. If you decide to rent it, be warned.

    Good location.

    Checkin was poor … code sent 1 hour and 15 mins after the right time. However they insisted to keep to the conditions for the checkout. ZERO customer service… the number they give as contact doesn’t work (they don’t answer at all) I had to call booking to get them to sort out the access code. Check in details not clear enough (and I travel a lot so I am used to following unsual checkin details). Apartment spacious, the 2 terrace views and space are great. But it is a noisy apartment … you can here the lift everytime is it used and the planes … so if you are sensitive to noise not the place for you. I believe (looking at the adjacent buildings) this wasn’t originally an apartment it was the rooftop utility room which they have turned into an apartment and actually have done it quite well. Although a mixture of modern furniture, very good good kitchen and utensils. It is a mixture of positives and negatives hence the middle score. Honestly if it had not been for the extremely poor checkin and customer service I would have scored higher. It could have caused anxiety and stress for less experienced or nervous travelers.

    Location, 2 terraces, spacious.
