The location is perfect with supermarkets, hub metro station, city market, gym, bus stops, laundromats all within 200m. Also dozens and dozens of restaurants, cafes and bars nearby.
The flat is beautiful, the bed is comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped enough to cook mid-week meals.
The internet was reliable and fast to work and have meetings.
The flat is also super quiet and got direct sunlight many hours of the day.
The host Francisco was super responsive and accomodating.
Overall, 10/10. Can't go wrong staying here for longer periods of time.
In addition, you have Lisbon’s most beautiful viewpoint, Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, right across from the building, a busy gathering place for touristy Tuk-Tuks, but not noisy enough to bother you up on the 4th floor. You’ll want to go there for some pictures, but otherwise you’ll prefer to watch the most amazing sunsets from your west-facing terrace right above. Not to be outdone by the sunrises you get to watch from your east-facing terrace, the sun shining right into your bed as it rises (there are also roll-down shutters if you prefer it to be dark). You really cannot beat the views from this apartment.
Yes, you’ll have to walk up 4 floors to get in and out as there’s no elevator, but I viewed that as a bonus for my daily exercise. Lisbon is not a place for one afraid of stairs! I also found that it was closer to everything than I thought. You can walk down to Rossio square in about 15 min, and up to the Bairro Alto from there. You’re also about 15 min from 2 different Metro stations, and there are buses and streetcars as well, even a funicular from the Graça viewpoint, which is arguably Lisbon’s 2nd most beautiful one, just 7 min from the flat.
The apartment had everything that I needed to live in comfortably for a month, and you’ll be connected with a property manager via WhatsApp who is always available to help with any questions or issues. I’d also love to point out that opening both balcony doors provided great natural air conditioning, and I never once spotted a single mosquito or even a fly. And the city gets surprisingly quiet at night, so sleeping with the doors open is not a problem. I also discovered that the sofas are pull-outs, so I could have hosted an occasional visitor.
I highly recommend this apartment for an extended stay and hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did!
However, upon arrival, we felt the apartment wasn't as clean as we'd hoped. We also found quite a few expired spices and other items, and the cupboards were initially cluttered. (These issues have since been resolved.)
Despite this initial setback, Lorenz is an excellent host who was very quick to respond to messages and highly proactive in helping to resolve any problems we encountered.
He even ordered a transfer from the airport, which saved me a lot of money
Overall, a good choice for students/single workers wanting to spend some time in Brno.
