    The building is cracking so you can hear very well the upper floor neighbours.

    Great location, nice hosts, big flat, big wardrobe and comfy bed. The hairdryer was broken but quickly replaced by the host on our request.

    Incredible location. We had some issues with the facilities: the stove was not working, but Maria was very quick to help to get it sorted, and there is a beautiful bath but no bath plug, rendering it unusable which was such a pity. Generally an enjoyable stay.

    The only complaint we had was there was a bad smell coming from the bathroom in the evenings.

    The location is very central and walking distance to most of the sight seeing places. The apartment was comfortable for our stay.

    The flights of stairs to the apartment after a full day and evening of walking.

    Place was basic and clean; beds were comfy. Hosts communicated well. The clothes washer was a bonus (would have appreciated operating information). Location was ideal for us - very walkable distance to many sights and restaurants and public transportation was close by.

    The only problem with the address is that the main door has no number. No "162" is there. guests may be scared at first moment. However, the owner gave a local contact for getting the key.

    The apartment is quiet. God for rest. There are not many noises from neighbors.

    Unbearable noise 24/7 from the hostel upstairs, with heavy furniture (or maybe room dividers on metal tracks) being constantly dragged across the floor, and their toilet flushing noisily through our bathroom. One night, it was so loud, that I thought that someone was in our bedroom. Very poor sound insulation from the street: the double glazing needs to be replaced, as there's constant noise from the many tour buses, taxis and emergency vehicles honking and blaring their sirens through the night. We had to go to another hotel to get a decent night's sleep. Safety issues with unmarked steps down into the window reveals, which we both fell down and hurt ourselves, and my husband subsequently fell up, and landed flat on the floor. There's a sharp metal staple sticking up out of the very squeaky floorboards, which we trod on with bare feet. Mercifully, we didn't cut ourselves. The water tank dripped constantly, which made it feel like living in a cave. The apartment was cold and damp, and had no heating. The air-con didn't heat the room at all. The shower cubicle was mouldy, and the bathroom walls are very badly damaged with water ingress. The furniture was very old, and tired, and tatty. Several items on the inventory were missing: toaster, heater, etc. Very few glasses (we had to buy our own, and a cafetiėre). No pans or dishes that could be used in the oven, which made it almost impossible to cook a decent meal. The towels were terrible quality: barely good enough to clean the floor with. Very old, thin, rough, too small, only one hand-towel and one small bath-towel each, and one tea-towel: and we had to specifically request fresh ones as they weren't changed after several days (and the apartment wasn't being cleaned, either, until we asked). Similarly with the poor-quality, old, bedlinen. There was only one small, hard pillow each, and no spare sheets or pillowslips.

    Nothing whatsoever

    We had major problems whilst staying at this property. Not met on arrival and limited contact with owner, no television for duration of the stay as previous occupier had broken it. The bathroom was terribly mouldy and very damp with no extractor fan. Highlighted this to the owner, not rectified. BEWARE: if you are a light sleeper the above apartment seems to be a hostel accommodation/hotel. Extremely loud everyday from 5pm onwards of what can only be described as moving furniture! Even woke my wife and I at 2am it was so loud! Requested a refund and complained via booking.com but owner has not responded. Definitely will not be returning to this accommodation. So disappointing as its in a great location close to Rossio.

    Only the location

    first of all. there were water dripping from the ceiling in the kitchen. 2) we weren’t allowed to keep the bedroom ac on during the day because it was causing leaking water down by the shop. 3) there was a major plumbing issue that needed to take care of. there is a a little area in the apartment. the work was started but not completed so every time someone used the bathroom upstairs you can hear the flushing or gushing water sound. it was very unpleasant. you can hear it very clearly.

    the location is central. it is closer to everything. that’s about it. the property itself as so many plumbing issues. the condition is falsely advertised.
