Blue Charm - Campolide Apartments

These are not the "superior apartments" that the listing claims; they are basic and equipped from Ikea. No air conditioning, and only one fan provided between the two rooms with a bed. However, our stay was OK. .It is clear enough from the pictures, but I hadn't appreciated that the second bed is in the open-plan kitchen/diner/lounge, which was strange but actually not a problem for us. Facilities are basic (eg fridge/freezer with no door on the freezer compartment; microwave as the only oven with no instructions (I found a 30-second button and just used that), cheap flatware cutlery). Property is only about a 6-minute walk from Campolide station, which is just one stop and a few minutes from Rossio in the centre of the city. No cooking ingredients (eg oil, salt) left in the kitchen. Lidl is about 20 minutes' walk away. There are four parking spaces 50 metres away; we were lucky to get the last one as I think finding an alternative would not be easy. There is a skateboard park outside the lounge window, with people using it until close to midnight.

You have to log onto a website to get a code to enter your apartment (the code for the front door is sent in an email). My experience may have been a one-off, but when I tried to log on I was asked to complete payment first, when Booking.com had taken full payment two days previously. This led to a long exchange on WhatsApp, with staff sending us various numbers to try, but in the end we were given the code to a key safe, which worked, and we used the key rather than a code. So I suggest you try to log on as soon as you get the email with the link, and don't wait until you're at the property, as I did. (Our experience may have been a factor in them allowing us to leave our cases in the apartment until 1300, or they may just be helpful.)

Probleme avec le code d'entrée fe la porte principale, TRES bruyant et si ce n'etait pas le train qui passait pour ainsi dire dans la cour arriere , c'etait des hommes qui chahutaient une bonne partie de la nuit. Etc... et aucune nouvelle de Smith and Adam... définitivement j"ai l'impression que ce fut une mauvaise experience sur toute la ligne, qu'on se fout royalement de nous.

Sonorização

Foi esquecido uns chinelos e um perfume no apartamento que ate ao dia de hoje nao apareceu, novo acabado de estriar .. acho uma falta de consideracao as pessoas que limpam os apartamentos nao devolverem os objectos esquecidos nos apartamentos.

La pulizia, la disponibilità dei proprietari

Appartamenti poco forniti di stoviglie, molto rumore esterno dovuto al traffico. Le finestre sono a tenuta acustica ma chiedendole l'appartamento risulta molto caldo. C'è un ventilatore disponibile ma anch'esso molto rumoroso. Il WiFi non funzionava

Prático

Muito calor e sem ar condicionado, apenas 1 ventoinha Chão muito sujo
