Good for a short stay
Biggest pluses for this property for us were availability for a short stay of 2 nights and 2 separate bedrooms, along with a washer. Lisbon was the last stop on a 2 and a half week European trip, and with a 2 day layover in Boston before returning home, we didn't want our bags to be full of dirty clothes.
I would really recommend to the owner and reps that information vital to get into the apartment not be sent on the same day the guests arrive, and not early, either. I checked my emails at 8:30 AM before leaving the Algarve and nothing had been updated from the information giving the address of the apartment. The information posted stated that a representative would meet us at the property. When we arrived, no one answered the buzzer at the front door. I had to change my Vrbo password standing on the sidewalk to access my account and find that our arrival was contactless. The information to access the building and the lockbox for the key to the apartment had been sent sometime after we drove away from our hotel in the Algarve. There was no one to meet us, but I did get a message asking if we had been able to get into the apartment after we had done so. At minimum, that information should have been sent the day before to give a smooth arrival. I can only speculate that sometime in the past, a guest was given the information earlier and arrived while previous guests were still at the property.
The bedrooms were fabulous. Spacious, with ample space to hang clothes and well lit. They both had fans to circulate air. The second bedroom does not have a window to the outside, but has one that brings air through from the laundry area. My son said he slept comfortably. My bed was also very comfortable. My room faced the street. Noise was minimal.
That said, and with a disclaimer that we are both long-term city dwellers, potential guests should know that Sete Rios is fairly close to the airport, and the apartment building is on the flight path, so planes are frequently flying over. Since there was no air conditioning, we kept the windows open, and the large one in the laundry area also overlooks the commuter rail, which rattles past frequently.
The kitchen and dining areas have everything needed. The space for the couch and TV is as small as it appears on the photos provided. My son sat on the couch, but I stayed on a chair in the dining area to give us more personal space. Since we weren't in the apartment much, the size of that area wasn't an issue
