Duplex apartment, modern and sophisticated while maintaining originality traits

Riu was very helpful in meeting us at his place & explaining everything to us. It was a perfect location.

The apartment was spacious and the location was wonderful. Rui is a very good host. He does the cleaning himself to make sure everything is done correctly. He suggested itineraries and helped orient us during our first stay in Lisbon. He ordered us a taxi at checkout and even helped carry the luggage. His English is excellent, too.

PositivesThe property is located in a great location and it’s quiet at night for sleeping. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and you can use the famous Tram 28 to downtown/main square or up the hill to Pingo Doce to buy groceries. The host is very accommodating and very helpful. The kitchen is well equipped. Washer included with a new laundry mat right across the street to dry clothing,( coffee shop ) Negatives-if you have any environmental sensitivity this is not the place for you. My partner’s asthma was triggered by the mold problem immediately when entering the unit. Upon entering the unit there was a strong smell of mold and it appears that both bathrooms have a problem with water infiltrating under the laminate flooring( from showers) as the laminate is popping up.This seems to be the source and cause of the mold and mildew in the grout of the tiles. Especially, in basement.( shower is incredibly small) We noticed mold growing upstairs all along the blue painted wall near the window all the way behind the TV. You’ll need to keep clothing in your suitcase as the smell will definitely migrate to your clothing.( we stayed for 4 days. Two small bedrooms in the basement with limited space for suitcases. Owner is aware of problem with air quality and says he will address the issue. We didn’t use the AC unit ( which would help with humidity) as it’s in November. Had to open 3 windows constantly to help offset smell.

We enjoyed our stay
