“Nice Clean Modern Apartment”

Positives: The location is good. The apartment is an easy walk to the main sights of Baixa/Chiado and on the route of a number of buses and tram 25. It is also a 5 minute walk to the Elevador Bica which takes you to Barrio Alto. The underground and overground (to Belem and coast) are also within a ten minute walk. There are a number of small bars and supermarkets on the doorstep, a larger supermarket just past Elevador Bica and of course the undercover market is very close by also. It's in a lovely old apartment building which has been decorated to maintain some of the period features, but also is decked out in clean modern white lines with all mod cons, great to have fridge/freezer, microwave, oven etc. It was great to be able to cook a proper meal. Beds were really comfy and despite some noise from the trams, had a great nights sleep! Negatives: There is no visible markings to let you know it's the feel good apartments, it was very difficult to find late at night in the rain, trying to spot the number 18 above the door meant the taxi driver reveresed up and down the street a few times! There is no way to contact the management, without ringing on your own phone. We had a problem with the fridge which was fixed, but I had an expensive international call bill on my mobile. The shower was extrememly powerful and being positioned on the back wall, meant it was very easy to flood the bathroom!

“Bad start-great finish”

Started off bad.This was an apartment rental that was suppose to email entrance code because there is no front desk/person on the premises. The code was incorrect and we could not get into the front door of the building. We called the number for the rental and got nowhere. We called Expedia and they tried and got nowhere. Lucky for us other tenants arrived and gave us the building code and told us how to access the mailbox containing the electronic key for the apartment. We eventually got the key and entered our apartment. Make sure you get the door access code and the mailbox code and apartment number before you arrive. Be aware the electronic key also turns on all the electricity in the apartment. Be sure to read all the directions (in back of apt. door) to figure these details. Once this nerve racking event was over then everything else went smoothly. The apartment was just as the pictures on the website, fully furnished and roomy. Lots of street noise forced us to close the windows and use the AC. Surrounding neighborhood is the "old city" so there are some run down buildings in between beautifully renovated buildings. You get a nice feel for the locals in this neighborhood. Lots of little shops, restaurants, local fish/food market,main transportation hub near by. Easy access to airport bus.

“Längtar redan tillbaka...”

Vi upplevde lägenheten mycket finare än på bilderna! Hade turen att få en med balkong med utsikt över floden Teijo, hade lugna långa frukostar. OBS! Hotellet är obemannat, så det är självincheckning som gäller. Viktigt att hotellet mejlar entrekod + nyckelkod! Vi fick fin hjälp av Expedia som kontaktade dem och efter några minuter så hade vi erhållit koderna. Det finns inget hotellnamn på byggnaden, utan man får leta upp gatunumret. Det enda negativa är att det är lyhört, man hör stegen från våningen ovanpå, men det löste vi med öronproppar och sov gott! Spårvagn och buss precis utanför hotellet, det är fyra hållplatser till city.
