Libest Bica 1 - Cordoeiros

The apartment was big. It had a comfy living room, a great desk that had perfect unobstructed views of the bridge, and my contact was extremely responsive when an issue arose (one of the showers was draining very slowly).

Like many old Lisbon buildings, there is a chronic mustiness (that you habituate to) that comes from water damage. Also, despite three AC wall units, it was hard to keep up with the heat. Noise travels easily from both outside and between floors, making it difficult to have earlier nights.

El barrio.

Ruidoso, sucio y con mal olor en los baños.

Alle spullen op ruime voorraad, hostess was zeer vriendelijk. Prima locatie en ruim appartement.

Jammer dat de lift niet werkte.

Menstrual blood on mattress covered by fresh sheet & sunken mattress remedied when reported (why did we even have to report this? Why was a mattress protector not being used?) Shower door barely hanging on & bottom rails were filthy. Awful smell in rear shower room. Shower rails also dirty. Dirty skirting boards & backs of doors. Patio doors leaked when it rained. Plaster coming off the walls. Washing machine leaked water over kitchen floor. Needs a good deep clean. I just couldn’t be bothered reporting more things that are beyond an immediate fix. Nice view of the bridge & harbour. Quiet area. Lovely cafe across the road & bakery down the street. Taxis - most taxis cant get past the bollard at the bottom of the adjoining street so you have to walk down to the main road to meet your taxi. Steep hill but only a couple of minutes walk. Could not recommend.

The host was spectacular in contacting the taxi when I left my phone in it. The apartment was well laid out and comfortable for two friends traveling together.

The location was up a steep hill. No problem going down, we used taxis for returning from center. Just be aware. The door was a little hard to open, it took some practice with the key. We knew about the upstairs noise and it isn't really bother us.

It’s in a good location, close to restaurants and on a quiet street.

The apartment is basic. The doors are sticky and make a lot of noise when you open and close. We were there for six days only got 2 towels per person and some toilet paper. The apartment would benefit from a fresh coat of paint, new pillows on the couch. It would also have been nice to have a couple bottles of water in the refrigerator upon arrival, a full size ironing board, hand towels in the bathroom and paper towels in the kitchen. Not a lot but these little things would have made a difference in our stay. Communication with Cláudía was excellent. She met us at the apartment early in the morning to give us our keys and that we appreciated very much.

Localisation localisation localisation! The appartment is very confortable and near little restaurants. Nandos on the corner is owned by Amazing people - You can get groceries or take your coffee in the morning / béer in the afternoon.

The noise from the owners upstairs is awful. You will hear running from 7am to 8pm all Time in summer. We Were always woken up early and at some point the ceiling shook. Even after having mentionned the noise to the owners of the unit for rent - It Will not change. There is also a very bad smell coming from the plombing in the bathrooms - but considering that it is an old building we did not make a big deal of it.

Great location

The smell around

Accommodation was good lovely views and nice and light inside. Very central so lots of restaurants / cafes in walking distance. Doorway is popular for photos due to the lovely plants outside. Host quick to respond to any messages

Door code was a bit of a faff but apart from that everything was great.
