Gulbenkian Gardens

It was very cozy and it really made us feel like we’re at home. The apartment was very clean and tidy, spacious enough for me and my friends, just like in the pictures. We also liked that the apartment is not located in the strict center, because it gave us the opportunity to explore other parts of the city that we probably wouldn’t have if we were accommodated somewhere else, plus the center is close either way. You have a lot of things that you need for your stay in the apartment, it is very well equipped. I’d also like to add that the host is one of the best that we met so far, she’s so nice, friendly and helpful, gave us very detailed information about the location of the apartment and the process of check in that left no space for confusion. She also left us tons of material about Lisbon, where to go and what to visit on the table, which we found very considerate and we used a lot of those recommendations. All in all, we are very satisfied with our visit to Lisbon and with this property and the host, we’re definitely coming back again! :)

The apartement is extremly noisy. You can hear the airplanes and the cars from the street. On top there was construction work. The windows are not isolated. I couldn't work nor sleep in the apartment. The only quite space was the bathroom. When I contacted the owner on this behalf she was more than unfriedly saying that the windows are well isolated which is simply not true. Also furniture is a little used and the aparment doesn't look like on the pictures.

A comfortable apartment with all the necessary facilities for a smooth stay. Both our bed and the sofa bed were used and were found comfortable..v

Nice apartments with old charm. Was very clean and spacious which was a luxury in Lisbon. Very close to the metro and supermarket .

Just a few appliances could be updated. Such as the water heater- was not working when we reached but got fixed the moment I called the owner.

Location was convenient to the metro and about an hour’s walk to downtown. Grocery shopping was nearby, too.

Airplane noise was disturbing, especially at night. Electrical outlet in bedroom was falling out of the wall and seemed unsafe. Owner could have been more responsive to our needs.

Great neighborhood; well appointed one bedroom with decorative touches my wife loved; close to public transport, lovely parks, and several good restaurants and a laundromat next door. Anne-Lise is an excellent responsive host, providing all necessary and helpful information. Loved Lisboa- would definitely stay here again, were we lucky enough to return.

The marble work on the appartment, in the bathroom and in the kitchen, its original and beautiful. The rest feels a bit old, although functional.

- It is noisy. Even with the windows closed and the blinds down completely, it is just beside a busy two lane street and it's loud. - The apartment feels like someone lives there and they just leave when someone is coming. - The sofa bed it’s really uncomfortable. - Please think of your worst parking experience ever and now multiply it by 1000. EXTREMELY narrow. I contacted the host several times asking for a picture or video (which she never sent) of the parking as she said the parking was narrow. I told her that my car was large (citroen Picasso) and that I was very worried. She told me it would be fine for parking at -2 as she parks her Mercedes E Station Wagon. The moment I just got the first ramp down, it was pure terror. I straight ahead contacted the host for help, as I was just in panic since suddenly the parking was at -4 and not anymore at -2. I asked her if I could just park it at -1, she said no. I asked if I could park it at -2 and she said no. She offered me to help me park it, and I said yes, but then she completely forgot she had told me so. In despair, even crying, I asked her for help as this was the most horrible parking situation I had ever encountered. She then said to not bother her as she was busy and if I wanted to cancel the reservation. Imagine that… just out of humanity, not helping someone in need (and in need because of your parking space). She then said that the parking was free. Sure, it’s free, but if you are travelling with a car is a MASSIVE selling point. Eventually I managed to take it to -4 reversing hand break on the narrow ramps corners. When I got down, I was shaking. I asked her if she could help me take it out as I was terrified. She said NO! That night I didn’t sleep at all thinking I had to take the car out. As I was leaving the apartment, she said I hadn't left the car park card. When I inquired about an official document for city tax, she found it offensive. I have proof of all. Worst host experience ever.
