Like previous reviews this apartment requires good physical level of fitness, but coming home each day was a good training session! The room was on the top floor and had great views (both sides) and great breezes each evening. Despite the heat, air conditioning was not needed.Apartment was cosy with style and character but no cupboards for clothes etc. We stayed 6 nights and lived out of our suitcases. Good location - very central to everything but a little away from the tourist bustle. Sylvia helped us as much as possible with any requests, very friendly and really wanted to help. She was great for local knowledge. Be aware that taxis can't get to the entrance of the hotel. Ask to be dropped off at the top of the stairs -not the bottom as it's a little easier for carrying bags.

What a fun and central location! The apartment was spacious enough for me and my two teens on a street closed off to cars. It was great having a kitchenette, full dining room and living room to hang out. There are a lot of beautiful murals along the steep staircase that gave the area so much charm. It was very close to a popular main street, central plaza, food and shopping...easy to walk to everything! Because it isn't a regular hotel, be sure you let the manager know ahead of time what time you'll arrive to be sure someone is on the property to let you in or arrange for key pick up. We didn't and ended up not knowing where to get our keys and unable to call because we didn't have a local phone. Fortunately another guest showed up and told us where to find our keys. The manager came over our first night and personally dropped off more towels and sheets as well as gave great tips about Lisbon. We would definitely stay again!

There was no one there answering the door or the phone when we arrived. So, after a long flight, we ended up lugging our bags through town, trying to find a place to stay. A neighbor of this property tried to help us, and he let us know that this is actually a private residence and not a hotel. To top everything off, this booking could not be canceled

Once we walked up a steep slope that was like a San Francisco Telegraph Hill incline and went up the four flights of narrow winding stairs with our suitcases the room was clean and pleasant, but that's about all the good I can say about the place --- a clean nice room. We were never greeted by the office manager or any staff, aside from a cleaning lady that handed us a set of keys --- that only included our room, not the main entrance, which we found out the hard way at 11PM one night when the door was locked shut (apparently it's suppose to stay open.) After five minutes of banging on it, the cleaning lady came downstairs, scowling and annoyed at us. Oh, did I mention the barking dog at all hours of the day and night, the lack of hot water during showers and that a few of our windows leaked during rainfall, leaving puddles all over the apartment?

The appartment was very nice, very spacious clean and modern, and we had everything we needed (apart from a washing machine, that was advertised but inexistent). It was a great place to stay for a week, and we would probably stay again. I would recommend the appartment as we really enjoyed our stay, however I could not recommend it to people with mobiliy problems (incl old people and disabled people), or families with prams, or even travellers with big suitcases, due to the very steep alleyway to reach the building, and the steepness of the stairs of the property.
