Apartment in the historical center of Lisbon, in S. Benedict, in a building that survived the earthquake of 1755. It is a historical house, picturesque and atypical architecture, typical of Lisbon. The real thing. It is 2 min walk from the metro, buses, post office, pharmacy, typical restaurants, supermarkets and 5 min from tram 28, Jardim da Estrela and Basilica. You can walk there in 10-15 min. to Chiado, to Bairro Alto. 5 min. are in Rossio or Rua Augusta.
This is a 70m2 house of peculiar architecture, pre-Pombaline, so typical of Lisbon. This architectural diversity, in the process of extinction, has been my home for 14 years. During this time, she welcomed friends from all over the world. And she likes it :) It is a semi-ground floor (half basement, half floor of the ground) comfortable and warm, just as I want it to be for you. More than my clients, you are my guests. In my house, in my building and in my neighborhood. Not only the house is typically Lisbon, the building is inhabited by Portuguese. The 300-year-old building, with thick walls, is made from the sand of the river Tagus and walnut, which allows the interior to be cooler in the winter and cool in summer. The bedroom and living room are interiors but the house has natural light with exclusive access to the terrace. It has a double bed and a single bed, TV, ceramic hob and oven, extractor fan, electric kettle, ironing board and iron, hair dryer and washing machine. Heaters are available in the house as the building does not have central heating. Shampoo and shower gel are also included. There is a small barbecue on the terrace.
The building has stairs a little steep and narrow, not advisable for people with mobility difficulties

My girlfriend and I loved this apartment! It was perfect for us. Very cute and cozy in a nice quiet location. The contact was fantastic! She checked in to see how we were doing and was extremely helpful.
Sin sofá o sillón cómodo para descansar, solo dos sillas. El patio tiene una mesa y dos taburetes incómodos sin respaldo,. Tiene una zona con techo muy bajo, de 1'5 metros de alto, al bajar las escaleras del baño también es peligroso darse un golpe en la cabeza con una viga. Lo más peligroso es qué tiene el calentador eléctrico dentro de la bañera y debajo la grifería, para abrir y cerrar los grifos te das con la cabeza en el termo, además de ilegal tener el calentador eléctrico en esa ubicación . Por la calidad del mobiliario y vigas peligrosas, y otras irregularidades, me recuerda más a un apartamento turístico de Turquía o Marruecos.

Caro Vicente, antes de mais espero que se encontre bem. A sua avaliação é uma desilusão e o seu comentário ainda mais. No anúncio estão as fotos da casa, nunca me pediu cadeiras adicionais mas existem em número suficiente para a número de pessoas permitidas no alojamento, 2. O estilo da casa não é turco, é tipicamente lisboeta porque prédios anteriores a 1755 não tinham as condições que hoje em dia exigimos e as adaptações necessárias são feitas. Embora seja o nosso modo de vida, as escadas deste tipo de prédios são sempre um pouco íngremes e por essa razão indicado no anúncio que não é aconselhado a quem tem falta de mobilidade. Mas os portugueses, como eu, que vivem e viveram décadas nestas casas, tenhamos mobilidade ou não, é um facto real. Lamento que não tenha partilhado o seu desagrado durante a sua estadia e sugiro que analise os anúncios com maior rigor numa próxima reserva.
Petit logement en demi sous-sol bien équipé pour cuisiner.
Transport en commun tout près, métro, autobus et tramway. Épicerie et restaurant tout près.
Descente d’entrée difficile.
Lieu central près des parcs et commerces. Bien déservi par les transports publics et très convivial
Comme la propriétaire, c'est au top pour les visites comme les facilités et la tranquillité. Nous recommandons +++

Good value but basic
Marta was a wonderful host, sharing information on the area and attractions. She even mailed us a sock I missed in the laundry! Apartment is basic but comfortable. We really enjoyed the neighborhood, which is not at all touristy.
