Great location

Amazing place to stay. There is everything you need. The appartment comes with everything, very well equiped. Don't hesitate to stop at Flat Cafe near by. The staff and owner are great people and the coffee and food is good. Be ready to climb the 75 steps to get to the roof top appartment. It keeps you in good shape. David was great to deal with and respond always very quickly with clear instructions. Thank you David!

Last minute cancellation

After confirming ouf booking the day before our arrival, the host cancelled it 10 minutes before the check in time. We had to find a last minute apartment. They said there was an issue with our payment but we never received any notice before. We think they over booked and had to cancel someone last minute.

Lovely!

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!

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.

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.

short stay in Lisbon

This property is located in an excellent location in the heart of the historic Bic section of Lisbon. We chose this unit largely because of this fact however, be forwarned that you must be young at heart and no mobility issues to manipulate the numerous stairs to get to the top floor of this building. Also, because of the topography of the city, you need to take many street steps up or down to the lower and upper streets of Lisbon. Located near many cafe and eateries as well as grocery and other retailers. Unit was adequate for our needs and host was very gracious and helpful with suggestions and booking our airport transportaton.

Beautifull view but very noisy

The appartment was well equipped and David was very helpfull to indicate nice things to see around. However, even if I wrote him I would arrive at 15:00, he send me a message much later that the appartment would be ready only at 16:00. But he us stay until 12:00the day we left. During the month of June , there is a lot of festivities in the area up until 2 o’clock in the morning. If you do not intend to take part of it, find an other place if you want to go to bed early!!

My Stay

Apartment was pleasant. I just think the communication with the owner could have been better. I would text him and he seemed aggravated. A few of his answers would end with exclamation marks. I had to contact VRBO a few times as our check in times was getting pretty close and I hadn’t heard anything from the owner but it worked out. Just like other reviews state “lots of stairs” four steep flights of stairs and before you even get to those stairs there are 127 steps from the street to his door. The apt has a pretty good breeze when the windows are opened but owner will still have you pay a daily air condition fee. We really didn’t need it. Our stay in Portugal was wonderful.

Parking and STEPS

First this was one of the most beautiful views we've had and the flat was perfect. However one of the main reasons that we booked this property was that it had parking...IT DOES NOT HAVE PARKING. We did our best to communicate with David and he also did his best to understand our needs. We were told we could get a cab or park NEAR to get our bags to the flat. NOW we understand why you can't drop your bag at the door!! STEPS everywhere LOL but it would have been nice to know that in advance. So be prepared for no onsite parking and to get your heart workout!! We still had a BLAST!!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
