Comfort Apartment with Balcony by LovelyStay

I liked the kitchen setup, very functional!

Before i arrived, i asked for an extra night of stay which i got but at the expense of 300Euros extra for that one night whereas the average nightly charge for my first 6 nights was only 90Euros. The apartment was falsely advertised as to have two bathrooms (only one, the second one was only a toilet) and two bedrooms (only one, the second one is only a formal dining room partitioned off with no window, no door and no privacy).

The host Marta is very friendly. She was at the property before our arrival. She provided us with early check in as our flight arrived at 9 am for a reasonable charge. The place is clean overall though some stains are on the counter top in the kitchen but acceptable. There was no heat upon our arrival but we didn't notice as we were so tired. We wore jackets to sleep the first night and sent her message the next day. She immediately sent a handyman in the afternoon and fixed the heat for us.

I don't have any complaint.

The house is very cosy and it was a pleasure to return there in the evening after a day of sightseeing in Lisbon. Everything was wonderfully clean and even the kitchen was equipped with everything. Marta, the girl who welcomed us, was super friendly and helpful and always responded quickly and listened to our requests. The location of the house is great, in a residential neighbourhood and extremely quiet. I would gladly come back!

The entrance door to the flat was a bit defective and on the first day we risked getting locked in, so we didn't lock it anymore for fear of not being able to get in.

Catarina, the hostess was very helpful.

We had a problem with the door on our second day on this property. The lock wouldn't open, so we couldn't leave the place and I had to reschedule some attractions, causing some some stress. The hostess, Catarina, arrived shortly with a technician after we called, they managed to open the door and the problem was solved by the end of the day.

The apartment was very clean, well furnished for sheets, towels, pans, cutlery and the like, and the fridge/freezer had good capacity. The rooms were spacious as were the kitchen and living and dining room. A lot of space to store clothes and also groceries. The street was quiet, and there are amenities, buses and subway very nearby. Recommended for families, two couples or simply groups of friends.

The chest of drawers and bedsit tables in the main bedroom were slightly off putting due to their age and state, though we find no need to use them for storage given the other storage space.

Good big apartment. Lovely balcony, full kitchen with lot of cookware. 9 minutes walking to subway, bus stop in two minutes. Some restaurants and grocery stores nearby.

What was not obvious from apartment description - walking from subway includes very steep and long stair. So, if you have any movement restrictions and don't have a car, it could be a problem. Another thing to mention - great apartment kitchen comes almost without supplies (we found only pepper). It is not feasible to by salt, spices, cooking oil, tea, washer detergent for a short stay, so, it would be good to have such a things in place. Four tiny rolls of toilet paper also not enough. One more minor issue we have is outer lock on the street door. It is quite difficult to open - several attempts usually required.
