Casa do Beco apartment with terrace

We just got back from spending 4 weeks at this apartment during January/February 2025. There are some things I wish I had known ahead of time. One: Many Portuguese apartments do not have heating. This was an assumption we made, that it would have heat. There were two electric radiators, but not very helpful. Two: the neighborhood. We were unprepared for the extreme hills that lead to the apartment on both sides—especially taking our luggage in and out. Younger folks might not mind them. Three: better communication from the host. Knowing where to take the trash ahead of time would have been helpful for long-term renters. Our query was answered quickly, but I wish we had known. The WiFi worked well. But the electricity was suspect. If too many things were turned on at one time, the circuit breaker would trip. We found out that we couldn't make coffee and toast at the same time. Sometimes, we didn't know what tripped the breaker, but we had to reset it at least a dozen or more times during our stay. Maybe a note as to where the breaker box is and how to reset it would be helpful. We figured it out, but it would have been helpful to know in advance. The decor was very nice. The furniture in the dining area and the bedroom were very nice. Overall, we enjoyed our stay there, but a few things would have helped. Honestly, had we known about the heating issue, we would have found someplace else. When the evening temperatures went down, the apartment became cold.

My friend and I had a lovely time in this flat. It's got lovely tall ceilings, it was super clean, good balcony, all necessary appliances in the kitchen. We were able to communicate with the owner to get in and leave our bags before check in. Easy to get to from anywhere in Lisbon and to and from the airport.

This was a great unit! Perfect unit for 2-3 people. The views outside were awesome and it was close to a lot of restaurants and shops. It was a 30 minute walk down to the main Lisbon area which is perfect for someone trying to get some steps in! The kitchen was very functional in case you wanted to make a meal in. Would absolutely recommend this unit!

Wohnung liegt fußläufig zu vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Die Wohnung ist sauber und gemütlich. Das Badezimmer ist optimierungsfähig ( keine Seife, WC wackelt, Tür schließt nicht richtig). Den Vermieter haben wir leider nicht gesehen und dementsprechend keine Wohnungseinführung gehabt.
