Lisbon in August

David, the host, was very helpful. Arranging transfers from the airport and providing useful hints and tips for our stay in Lisbon. Apartment was in a great location and very well equipped. You do need to be fit and healthy to stay here however as the four flights of stairs up to the apartment are very steep but the views from the apartment are worth the climb.

Great views

We enjoyed this apartment with big windows to let you enjoy the view of the river. The location was good. The only thing that everybody needs to know before renting this place is the high position without elevator, you need to be in great physical shape because is like a 5th floor with steep staircase. But the view and nice breeze passing through make it worth it.

Perfect place for the 6 of us! David was amazing with check-in, helpful with recommendations and how to get places as it was or first time in Lisbon. He even checked in on us through out our trip and had recommendations for our next stop as well. Great host!! The apartment was in a great location to get everywhere quick. The beds were very comfy and the water pressure good, which is always a huge plus! Yes there are 4 flights of stairs up to the apartment but we knew that before hand and as long as you can walk Lisbon you will be fine! We loved the place and would stay again!

The property is right in the centre of old Lisbon,with easy access to the Timeout Market, riverfront and transport. Great local restaurants and bars. The attic accomodation has great views and is compact but has good amenities for a comfortable stay. We did know about the stairs and steps, but it was physically challenging. David was really helpful though and we all felt a lot fitter with the exercise.

Place is in a good location and restaurants and stores very close by. I had rid the reviews before I booked about having to walk up 4 floors of stars. I’m in pretty good shape and exercise but I was sweating when I made it to the top with luggage. I wish this place had an elevator and it would Be perfect. I wouldn’t suggest this place for handicapped people or out of shape or seniors. David was very helpful As well.

Lovely views

The apartment is spacious, and the views are lovely. We had some pretty hot weather, and found the one air conditioning unit not enough to cool down all the bedrooms. It wasn't properly vented and had a hose to hang out the window. The area is very nice, but loud at night on the weekends. We couldn't leave the windows open as a result. Also, the couch in the sitting area needs to be replaced. The apartment is really nice overall, but needs some upgrades for the cost.

Great central spot in Lisbon, Portugal

The apartment is in a very central location with access to Chiado and all the great restaurants, shopping, and amazing views. The apartment was terrific for 2 adults and 2 teens - each of the kids got their own bedroom. Plenty of space. Two full baths were handy as well. The apartment is on the 5th floor with very steep steps so beware of that especially with suitcases. The street that leads to the apartment can only be accessed by taxis and the host with a special card. David absolutely earns his super host creds - he was helpful before we arrived in Lisbon and every day while we were there. From picking us up from the airport to recommending sightseeing attractions and foods to try as well as getting us a cab to get us to our rental car when we were driving from Lisbon to Porto. Highly recommend!

Wonderful stay in Lisbon

The apartment was just as described but seemed larger in person. Six people could stay here without too much of an issue. We did utilize the washer and dryer but you will still need to use the drying racks when the clothes come out of the dryer. We prepared our own breakfast every day and then ate lunch and dinner out. Having 2 bathrooms was definitely a plus for us. Communication with David was easy and he provided us with several tips of places to go as well as places to eat. He even provided us a ride to the airport on our last day. It is 5 flights of stairs to go up and there is no elevator but it is manageable. We are in our 60s but in good shape and we were able to make it work with luggage. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Outstanding Hospitality

This property has great views and is located in the unique neighborhood of Bica. Lots of local folks live in this neighborhood, so it gives you an idea of what it might be like to live in Lisbon. It's location is a reasonable walk to the Metro and the trains to Belem/Cascais. The Time Out Market and Mercado da Ribeira are also nearby. Like many properties in the old parts of European cities there are stairs involved, so this is not a place for persons with mobility issues. We are fit 68 year olds and it was a bit challenging at times. We have stayed in numerous highly rated VRBO properties and David is the most hospitable and best organized host ever. He is easy to communicate with by Whats App and readily available for advice on day trips, restaurants and local must see attractions. He truly cares about the comfort and well being of his guests. Getting him to pick you up from the airport is a good idea, as you can easily get to the property and settled in comfortably.

Cozy apartment with a washer and dryer

The apartment is in a good location…near the water, Time Out (we ate there several times), and close to many sites. The three bedrooms were very spacious…the common space was very cozy. The galley kitchen was very clean and modern and had everything you could ever need. We were there for a ten day trip with carry on luggage only so we needed to wash our clothes at the apartment. David has the manual for the combo washer/dryer but I spent way too much time figuring it out. In case you want to use these, turn the dial to the right to the icon that looks like a chemistry beaker…this is mixed fabrics like cotton and synthetic…the wash takes about 2 hours…we brought our own laundry detergent sheets which worked fine. Once the clothes are washed, make sure the clothes are just damp and not wet, then select the beaker icon with the sunshine on the left…this will take over an hour. If they are not completely dry, there are drying racks. My only complaint about the apartment is the steps… we understood there were a lot but that was not the issue…the steps are very shallow and most of stairways did not have handrails. Our apartment in Porto had the same number of stairs but they were wide and deep and had handrails. Lastly someone had mentioned that David also offers car service so I asked him about this as we had a morning flight…he arrived right on time and got us to the airport in plenty of time for our flight.

Property Undersold in Listing - Much better than expected

The Bairro Alto/Bica area is older with steep hills and cobblestones. We chose it because it is more true to Lisbon and Portugal. Despite being in the heart of nightlife with bars, restaurants, and a view of the river, the apartment itself is quiet. It is a walk up to the penthouse, but definitely worth it. The views are spectacular but the best thing is the air flow. There is a constant breeze through the apartment. Despite travel during late July, it was so cool that we never used the air conditioning! I set our house to 70-72 so we like it cool in the summer. David managed the property really well. He was attentive and always available. He will provide airport transfers door-to-door but does not want to push the service on guests. It is worth paying him instead of a taxi or company if only for the convenience. The old neighborhood has traffic restrictions and only residents and permit holders have the electronic passes to allow their card to enter the area. Our flight arrived late at night. David picked us up, took us to the hospital for an emergency room visit, dropped my boys off at the apartment, and then came back to get us to the apartment. Talk about going over and above the call of duty... He had plenty of helpful information for us. The apartment was overstocked with everything needed. Our expectations were definitely exceeded.

Great location, but...

Pros- the pictures are accurate. The location was great for site seeing. Cons- We arrived the night of St. Anthony's celebration which started around 8 pm and lasted until 6 a.m. the following morning. And then the celebration started again each of the remaining nights we stayed there. The celebration took place right outside our windows. It was very loud and no one slept well. When I asked the owner if we could do anything he said to close the windows. We did, but without central ac, on the top floor, it was very warm. And still incredibly loud. In future, I think the owner needs to let people know about this when they book. If I had known, I would have found another place to stay. Another issue that I had was when I booked and payed the deposit, David messaged me to tell me that he hadn't set the "summer rates" yet and would need to charge an additional fee. I should have known at that point that something was wrong.Seems like that would have been a good time to tell me about the noise. The last issue I had was with check-in. He refused to give me the door code until we were standing outside the front door with all of our luggage. I was concerned all day that we would not be able to get into the place. With every other rental I have had, the information is disclosed usually days in advance.

Great location. Nice apartment. Friendly and helpful property owner/manager. Really not much to say on the negative side. The only things potential guests would need to consider is that you need to be somewhat in good physical shape as there are quite a few flights of stairs to get up to the apartment (but I hear that is quite normal in Lisbon) and vehicle access is limited but there is pay parking nearby where you can leave your car.

Excellent Short Stay

We had a great stay at this property. The host David was excellent! Very helpful and his communication was amazing. The unit was clean and bright and suited our needs as a family of 6 for a short stay. Restaurants, shopping and water front were all very walkable. The only down side was the amount of stairs to climb to the unit and the air conditioning wasn’t that great but with a breeze at night, sleeping was comfortable. Would recommend!
