About this property
Tucked into one of Lisbon's most storied and atmospheric neighbourhoods, Modern Bairro Alto Apartments places guests right in the heart of a district long celebrated for its fado houses, cobblestone alleys, and vibrant local character. Bairro Alto sits on one of Lisbon's famous hills, and the surrounding streets offer a genuine sense of the city's layered personality, with the landmark Rossio square just a short walk away and the wider historic centre easily explored on foot. This is Lisbon as many travellers hope to find it, lively after dark yet quietly charming by morning. The accommodation is built around self-contained one-bedroom apartments, giving guests a level of comfort and independence that a standard hotel room rarely provides. Each unit is equipped for genuine stays rather than just overnight stops, with a full kitchen, dining area, and a balcony that opens onto the quieter side of this famously energetic quarter. Modern Bairro Alto Apartments also offers WiFi throughout, on-site parking, a restaurant, and a swimming pool, making it a surprisingly well-rounded property for a three-star address in a neighbourhood where many options lack these kinds of extras. This property suits couples particularly well, given the intimate scale of the apartments and the romantic atmosphere of the surrounding streets, but it also works nicely for solo travellers who want space and kitchen access for longer stays. The flexible layout and parking availability make it a reasonable choice for those arriving by car and wanting a central base from which to explore the wider city. Lisbon's main transport hubs and airport are within easy reach, meaning connections to the rest of Portugal or beyond are never complicated.

We do not recommend this apartment. It is not comfortable at all: it has no heating or any type of heater. We traveled with two small children and it is very cold; the towels do not dry. When we contacted Alex about the heating issue, he told us that stoves or radiators are not allowed in the building, although it seems rather that he does not want to provide them in order not to waste electricity. The thermos is only 80 L, insufficient for four people (barely enough for three), and the shower floods. When we arrived, a guy gave us the keys and left without any explanation. The ad says there is a dishwasher, but there is none. The pillows are not pillows as such and there is no top sheet: you sleep directly with the duvet which are precisely the same duvet covers that appear in the ad. I wonder if they clean them for each new guest who comes with the job of taking off a cover, cleaning it and putting it back on. Likewise with the small pillows and pillowcases, they are the same as those shown in the ad. For the price, there are much better and more comfortable accommodations. Avoid this apartment. In the summer, without air conditioning, it must be unbearable. In addition, it is located on a street where there are pubs and at night there are people partying in the street making noise.

The facilities, cleanliness, location and renovation.
Disliked
The entry is not high enough and the stairs could be dangerous. The apartment missed closets for clothes, also no washing machine. A lot of noise from the street and the building itself. There were not enough pillows to use.

The owner was polite and responsive. The apartment was clean and tidy. It's located in the old town, surrounded by bars and clubs, but the area below the apartment is very quiet. Thank you for the apartment.
