Belem Design Apartments by Homing

We came to the Lisbon Marathon and the location of this apartment was as comfortable as possible to get to the starting point on foot without using a car.I really enjoyed going out on the terrace and lying on the lawn after the run. There was a coffee machine, washing machine and air conditioning in the room. Nearby there are supermarkets Continiente and Lidl. We really liked that district Belém, it's located in western Lisbon on the banks of the Tagus River, it was the departure point for famous Portuguese explorers like Vasco da Gama during the Age of Discovery. The district's heart is the monumental Praça do Império, surrounded by UNESCO-listed sites including the grand Jerónimos Monastery (Manueline architecture), the medieval Belém Tower, and the Padrão dos Descobrimentos monument honoring explorers. There are very beautiful views of the 25 de Abril Bridge and the Cristo Rei statue from the promenade. The center can be reached by tram 15E or by buses. You can buy a Navigate card to travel around Lisbon at a train station in a special vending machine. To do this, you need to go up to the bridge and then go down to the train stop. You can also take the same train to Cascais and Sintra. We enjoyed everything and we will be happy to return to Lisbon once again! ☺️

Nice little self-contained apartment with kitchen and laundry facilities, and windows facing the river. Check was all done remotely online with keys waiting for us at the venue. Staff even left additional linens for us so a friend could spend the night with us. Apartment was air-conditioned, and had shutters to block out the morning sun so we could sleep in. Having a washer/dryer in the apartment was also fantastic for us and would suit folks who are travelling for extended periods and need to do laundry.

The location was a little less central than I might have liked, so we were a little bit reliant on taxis/Ubers (but we knew that when we made the booking). The shower/bathroom could be updated a little, but overall the place was fairly nice and modern.

Very beautiful view of Belem.

A great location with convenient transport connections. By Portuguese standards, these are considered a one-bedroom apartment with a living room. Easy access to the apartment. There is a Lidl supermarket nearby.

From the very beginning, it was obvious that the apartment had been poorly cleaned: there was dust on the furniture, our socks were sticking to the floor, and the dishes had not been washed properly — I had to wash them again before using them. When I tried to clean up myself, I discovered that there were no cleaning cloths or a mop for washing the floor, and the dustpan was broken, so even sweeping the floor became quite a challenge. But the worst part was the absence of shampoo and soap in the shower. I sent a request for them the next day, but it took three days for anyone to respond. In addition, the roller blind in the living room was broken, and we had to figure out ourselves how to use it in order to access the terrace. On the terrace, the wooden table and chairs were in poor condition, and we had to cover them with towels before sitting down.
