I stayed September - mid-November. For me the fan was enough during the hotter days as there was also a lot of breeze that would come through the windows. I only used the heater once but it warmed the place up nicely.
I worked in the apartment every day and the wifi was fast and reliable.
I really appreciate that the kitchen was well equipped and had basics like salt, pepper and oil when I arrived.
It’s up a little street and the street stays well lit at night and I always felt safe, even at night. At night, I’d walk up R. São Cristóvão rather than the side streets as it’s also well lit and busy.
The bed upstairs was very comfy. You do have to duck down when you are upstairs but this wasn’t a problem for me. Another benefit of having the bed up there is it’s quiet at night.
Maurice was great at communication. I had one issue while I stayed and it was fixed very quickly and without any hassle.
It is on the top floor so be prepared to climb up some stairs but the climb is worth it for such a gem!
The apartment is in Alfama, it’s the oldest neighbourhood in Lisbon with lots of windy streets. It’s got great character and it does feel magical to walk around.
It’s sometimes best just to wander and see what you come across and get a bit lost in the windy streets - it’s all part of it!
Along R. São Cristóvão there’s a real buzz and the locals hang out at Catedrais. They will welcome you in and get to know you and if you speak a bit of Portuguese they will really appreciate it!
Lisbon is know for its Miradouros and the closest one is Miradouro do Chão do Loureiro which doesn’t get too busy and has a great view of the city.
My favourite coffee spot is Santo António - get a pastel de nata here too! And you might spot a cello player at lunch time from the walk from the apartment.
Brunch at LUDO’s is a must with delicious food and incredibly friendly service.
My favourite nearby park is Jardim da Cerca da Graça. And if you are there near sunset I’d recommend the climb up to Miradouro da Senhora do Monte.
If you are an early riser, sunrise at Miradouro de Santa Luzia is magical! I went quite a few times. While you’re there you can also go to the history of Lisbon Mural and Miradouro das Portas do Sol.
If you’re a surfer or would like to try, I’d recommend Go Surf Lisboa Surf School. They are great teachers and offer collection from Lisbon.
Active and safe
It is a calm and silent neighborhood and very center. Going to Roxio is 10 min on foot.
It gets sunlight well, as a remote working person that was important to me. The heating is working well, we didn't feel any cold even in January.
If you are planning to spend more time in bed, upstairs is not a good option. The ceiling is too narrow, you cannot stand up there. We used that part just for sleeping.
Although the induction cooktop was heating water quickly, a water kettle would be nice. Also, there should be iron too. The kitchen stuff is not so much but we cooked at home and they were enough to manage. Didn't have trouble with that.
Maurice and his colleagues are so warm, kind, and quick-responsive people. We didn't face any problems. His colleague waited for me at the house to check in even though my flight was delayed. Also, I asked for a bit late check out they didn't make this a problem.
Old town of the city and safe. Very close to touristic centers.
Maurice is an excellent host, he was always responsive and ready to help if there was any inconvenience.
The apartment is located in a small alleyway of a "mostly pedestrian" street with a couple of tiny local bars and some cafes and restaurants with decent food. Fortunately, you won't hear the evening noise from it :) Metro is 5 minutes walk, which is very convenient. Pingo Doce is 2-3 minutes walk.
