Its in Baixa, which is the old and the best place to stay in Lisbon when on a break. It gives you real Lisboa feel. After spending 4 days in Lisbon, I can confirm that in my opinion Baixa and Chiado are the places to stay in Lisbon.
Coming back to the apartment itself:
- We had booked via E X P E D I A. Decent priced apartment in Baixa. As soon as I booked it, got email to pay the City tax which I did online.
- Despite making several requests to allow a prior check in, they didnt entertain us and
provided a code that would work at the door from sharp 2pm, and not anytime before.
- There are many mini markets around the apartment from where we bought:
* Coffee, Milk, Wines, Bread, Butter, Jam, Cheese
- Inside the apartment, there is everything:
* Washing Machine, Dishwasher, Cutleries, Air Conditioner, Toaster, Hair Dryer
- When you enter the apartment complex, stairs, rooms & everything else is super clean, modern and spotless.
- There were some issues with the apartment, but you could possible ignore because of the great location you are in, however if the owners are reading this, they could improve on the following:
i) There are no shower gels / shampoo provided for bath.
ii) Only 1 set of towels per person is provided and when I emailed them for more towels there were priced at 4 Euros per person.
iii) There is no cleaning of the apartment during your stay - which I found a bit odd.
iv) Sleep quality was ok as I didnt like the pillows and mattress much
