RENT4REST BAIRRO ALTO CHARMING 1 BEDROOM APARTMENT

Nice location and easy access for entry

Loved the location and walking access to everything without being right in the middle of Lisbon with all the other tourists. Communication with the owners was excellent and they were very helpful when i couldn't get in at first. I would like to have had wash cloths with the bathroom towel sets. While it was no issue for me and i am 5' 2" so not large, if you're at all big, the size of the bathroom would be uncomfortably small. I would also like a darker blind in the bedroom window as the covering there let too much light in. With that said, the apt had everything one could want and would fit two people well. I would definitely come here again.

After a 10-day visit in mid-February, we decided that there is no better location to stay in Lisbon. The unit is close to good traditional and modern restaurants and bars, small grocery stores, public transportation, and is walkable to almost everywhere. The unit itself is well-equipped - comfortable bed, kitchen accessories and appliances, good WiFi, washing machine, plenty of hot water (at least for two people). It is located in an old building but is very modern inside. The street is quiet but is only two streets away from everything. And if you have a question - the host is very responsive. As an old building - the stairs are very steep, and spaces are small. It took us a day to find a place for everything (clothing, luggage) and the galley kitchen that attaches the front room and bedroom/bath is narrow. But once we settled in we were very comfortable. If you have mobility issues or are larger in stature, you may not be comfortable in this space.

The location is in a quiet neighborhood and fairly close to things, and the host was very communicative. The apartment was stocked with many essentials for a short stay.Unfortunately, we had to cut our stay short due to a very strong and unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom that spread throughout the entire apartment when we arrived at night. The bedroom floors were also greasy/sticky, and the heater made loud noises throughout the night, making it difficult to sleep.Additionally, it was not clearly stated in the listing that this is a second-story apartment accessible only by steep, narrow stairs (20 steps), which may be important for some guests. While there were positives, these issues significantly impacted our stay.
