Dear Reader,
I just stayed at this cute little flat in Lisbon for a total of five nights. It is accurately described and Manuela was responsive and super helpful.
With that said, I want to make sure fellow visitors understand a few things…
The stairs are not only steep but tiny. Meaning you can’t quite walk up straight up and down (unless you are quite small). Even though this is in the description it is almost like climbing a ladder. It’s also on the top floor.
The location is in a hilly part of town. Not a problem in of itself and not the fault of anyone but me, but we walked a lot. Often we’d come back midday for a break and the flat always felt so far from the action and then climbing up the stairs, well it was exhausting and I’m in decent shape.
The flat is a nice size for a couple. The bed is comfy and about queen size. I stayed with my son and thought he’d stay in the loft, but he wasn’t having it.
The windows face a building so there is no view from the flat itself, but once you are on the street the view is lovely.
It is a quiet area in an alley off a hilly street.
There a couple of cafes right down the hill from the flat which were quite good!
The little park is also a nice place to relax and has a kiosk that serves drinks and snacks.
Again, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the flat, but had I done a little more research I think I would’ve chosen a different area, so 100% my fault!
Still would recommend assuming you understand all of the above!
