Perched in the heart of Lisbon, this characterful apartment offers something that few city-centre stays can genuinely claim: a direct, unobstructed view of São Jorge Castle, the medieval fortress that has defined the city's skyline for centuries. Situated in one of Europe's most dynamic and…
Who stays here
Couples
Castle views and French terrace create a romantic setting, though the 7.1 rating suggests some rough edges.
Solo travellers
Walkable central location with WiFi suits independent explorers, though limited social opportunities on-site.
Families
Only one-bedroom apartments and modest amenities may feel cramped for families with children.
Business travellers
WiFi and central location help, but a 3-star apartment lacks dedicated workspaces and business services.

"Central apartment with beautiful views of the old town."
Liked
The apartment was located in a very central area. It was possible to walk to a number of the main attractions and it was also very near buses and trams. The area was quiet and the views from the balcony were beautiful.

The location. The equipment.
Disliked
AVOID THIS APARTMENT. UNSANITARY APARTMENT, mold everywhere (walls, curtains, ceiling, bathroom, windows), very hard bedding, creaky floor, poor soundproofing, broken sofa.

Very quiet. Excellent location, in the heart of Lisbon with a well-stocked supermarket around the corner. (yes, previous guests said the flat/apartment is a bit uphill, but what do you expect? It's Lisbon!). You'll find all the basic equipment you need for a few days. The "staff" was very kind and responded immediately. Clean and tidy. I found the bed very comfortable. Oh, again, other guests talked about the staircase. It's a spiral staircase, but I had no problems at all with my large suitcase. I would definitely stay here again.
Disliked
Not much to say. Maybe the sofa is a bit tired and needs cleaning/replacing? One of the blinds in the bedroom didn't work and we flagged it up. We agreed they would do something about it after we left, as it wasn't a big problem for us. Light was definitely coming through, though. Block-out eye masks helped.

distance from the metro, train station approx.

The condition in the photos is not good, but in reality it's not. The walls in the apartment were damp (mold), which isn't visible in the photos. The building's surroundings didn't give me a sense of comfort or safety; I felt unsafe.

"Disappointing experience"
Translated from European Portuguese
Disliked
The host had given me permission to check out by 12 PM at the latest. However, we were forced to leave at 11 AM. We are a couple with a 2-year-old child, and I had to leave my husband with the boy in the apartment to go to an appointment, intending to meet him at the supposed checkout time (12 PM!). However, a woman (I don't know if it was the host or the cleaner) arrived, saw that my husband had a baby to carry and other luggage, and asked for help carrying things downstairs, as we were on the 2nd floor and the stairs were very narrow. He refused to help and even told us to hurry up in English. The apartment is not suitable for families. My son unfortunately slipped on the stairs, and there was no empathy whatsoever from the host. Regarding the price-quality ratio, it leaves much to be desired. The apartment was damp and uncomfortable.
