Italian Design Apartment in Príncipe Real

The physical space (great layout in this corner apartment, large well appointed windowed kitchen with everything you need, washer/dryer in one for your clothes, firm bed and good pillows in master bedroom…did not try the other, excellent water pressure and plenty of of hot water, shower set up has both handheld and rain heads). French door style incredibly well insulated windows and a fun wallpapered wall in living room add to the character. This is a real home. I’m ready to sign a multi year lease if I could.

Nothing.

The apartment was lovely and spacious for us as 3 friends travelling together. The location is perfect, bars and restaurants and coffee shops on the doorstep and a small park which had a makers market running alongside. It was easy to get around Lisbon from there, either walking, by cab or tram. The hosts arranged for someone to meet us and show us around the apartment on arrival and were easy to communicate with by whatsapp.

It was great for our stay.

The location was accessible to many sights, helpful hosts.

The location is great close to a popular view point and within close walking distance of other popular neighborhoods: bairo alto and chiado. Its also close to alot of good restaurants. Overall the neighbourhood and views from the balcony are beautiful. The hosts were very kind and hospitable.

The furniture is very outdated and needs to be replaced. The couch had a mark on it when we got there. The main bedroom has a portion of frosted glass on it, so when the living room/ kitchen lights were on, anyone sleeping in the primary bedroom was disturbed. We were not a fan of the frosted glass bathroom walls due to a lack of privacy. Needs more towels
