For two people, the apartment is perfect. It is located up a steep hill, steps and the stairs leading to the flat are narrow and steep (manageable if you take your time but something to be taken into consideration.) The accommodation has everything within you need to live very comfortably. The bed is large, the newly renovated bathroom is an excellent addition and the large windows allows plenty of sunlight in. If you plan on self-catering there is everything you could need within and Juan, the host, even provides a few extras i.e. coffee for a Nespresso machine. The apartment is in the perfect location, central to absolutely everything! Juan could not have been more helpful - we arrived late in the evening but despite this he took the time to sit us down with a map and give us informative advice on what to do during our visit. He also allowed us to stay for an extra-few hours, at no cost at the end of our stay.

Clean, warm, comfortable and extremely well equipped. The location a bit like being on an alley off Trafalgar Square, it is so convenient (but peaceful). Friendly, efficient greeting arrangement. One tip: for a good supermarket go to Pingo Doce on 10 December Street, one block west of Rossio. Am coming back next year.

La location est très bien située, en plein centre de Lisbonne. L'appartement est très agréable et refait à neuf. Nous y avons passé du bon temps et avons été très bien accueillis. Tout peut se faire à pied.

Un bel appartement, fonctionnel et coquet, très bien situé, à 2 pas de la place Rosso, dans une ville super agréable. Un très bon accueil. Le seul bémol concerne le parquet, pas isolant du tout pour les bruits de pas avec l'appartement du dessus (dommage). Mis à part ça, très bien, d'ailleurs j'ai mis 5 sur 5 !

This is a peaceful yet central apartment for two near Rossio Square. Juan is a very friendly and helpful owner who has a wealth of tips on where to go in the city and out of it. We really appreciated his time and ideas. We would definitely recommend the apartment.

We stayed here for one week in early October and the apartment is exactly as described/shown in the photos, with a lot of cooking utensils and also things like salt, oil, herbs and washing up liquid. This was one of the reasons I chose the apartment as we've found it annoying in the past having a kitchen without things like pots, plates and cutlery as then it's essentially useless! The apartment is also located around some really great restaurants so we went out for dinner some days too. It is also around 5 minutes walk from a good supermarket, which as other people have said is quite rare in Lisbon and also 5 minutes from Rossio station for the metro and train to Sintra. The wifi is excellent (better than we have at home) and we logged onto our Netflix account via the tv which was a great plus! Juan was a great host and met us at the theatre on Rossio Square, which is a few minutes walk from the apartment. As many reviewers have said, it is up a very steep hill (which isn't paved too well) so we were glad that we had read these reviews and taken rucksacks rather than a suitcase. We are a couple in our late 20s/early 30s so are relatively fit, but we can see why the apartment may not be suitable for those who are less mobile as to reach the actual apartment you have to climb very narrow and steep stairs once inside the building. Anyone who is taller than around 5'8 has to duck! This is just representative of the age/style of the building/old Lisbon in general though. Juan then gave us a map of the city and drew on various places he recommended, which we found useful, including a fado place called Povo around 20 minutes walk away. This place supports young fado artists so is cheaper and "cooler" than a lot of the more touristy locations, and was really great. We did not contact him during our stay but he was more than happy for us to contact him (including to book restaurants, but we did this via TA) although we bumped into him when he was checking one of the other apartments in the block. He employs a cleaning lady who maintains very high standards in the property. If you come into Lisbon on the metro then you'll already have a Viva card which is basically the Oyster card equivalent. This can be topped up at all metro/train stations if you click the "zapping" option. This can be used for all transit options (including elevators) in the Lisbon area (including Sintra, Cascasis and Belem) and dramatically cuts the cost. For example, an on board fare for the trams or funiculars are at least 2.85 whereas with the card it is 1.25. It also saves time queuing for what appeared to be a very long time to buy train tickets for Belem and Sintra, whereas we just turned up with minutes to spare, went through the barriers and got on the train as we would do in London. The viva card can also be used on the ferry for the Costa de Caprica but we had to pay cash for the bus from the ferry terminal, although they have plans to expand the Viva card network to cover this area in the next few months which would be more convenient for visitors.

Siamo appena tornati da poche ore, e non potevamo deludere Juan. Meglio di così non si poteva. Un appartamentino delizioso, nel quartiere popolare di Rossio. Cosa volere di più. Prenotate tranquillamente. Sarete accolti da persone serie e disponibili. Thanks Juan.

The apartment is very modern, clean, well-appointed, and very convenient to Rossio Square. It is within walking distance to most of the sites and close to public transport. The one possible challenge is the rather steep climb from Rossio Square to the apartment.this could be difficult for someone not in shape or with heavy luggage.

The apartment is perfect. It's location is spot on, everything is nearby, you name it! It's very well presented and furnished and has everything you need to live comfortably. We even stayed in a couple of nights and did some cooking! Juan could not have been more helpful, very friendly and informative. Made us feel very welcome in Lisboa. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! As mentioned on some previous reviews, the route to the apartment is a little steep with a hill and some steps which is something to take into consideration.

The apartment was exactly as described by the owners and the reviews. Clean, modern and in a perfect location!! Just a couple minutes from the closest metro and train station and local supermarket. Juan was always helpful via text, as he was unable to meet us at the check-in. Would recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Lisbon and live amongst the locals. Only downside: a very steep hill to reach the apartment; would not recommend to people with walking disabilities.
