  : This is a no-frills apartment. The bathroom was nice but poorly lit. A fair number of T.V. channels were available particularly action films... Bedding was abundant. Reasonably plentiful cookware. The location was very convenient with plenty of restaurants, bars and shops within walking distance. Bruno provided us with recommendations. Public transit is readily available but walks of 4-15 minutes will be necessary. The bedroom has a good sliding door which helps cut out noise. There are some arty touches to the apartment that provide some ambience...
  : There is a restaurant/bar right under the living room windows. This leads to drunken singing and very loud conversations that can last until midnight. Fortunately we were not catching early flights... There is an espresso coffee machine but only 2 cups of coffee were provided for a stay of over a week. Toilet paper was not stocked in supply and there were no dish towels on hand – we had to ask (for next day delivery). The apartment retains humidity which in October is not a problem but in hotter weather... The clothes washer smelled like mildew. The bathroom could use a real waterproof rug. Baths are not possible (except for small children) but the shower has good water pressure and sealed well. The shower has high sides so if you have trouble with coordination this is not for you! You would definitely not want to try sleeping on the living room couch but it's alright for watching TV. We heard young children upstairs through the floor and windows. Overall this was normal city apartment noise.

  : Bruno welcomed us at check-in and gave us lots of useful information about how to see the best of Lisbon. The apartment is very comfortable, clean and has quite a lot of space. It is situated in a very accessible part of Lisbon, very close to the metro, shops, sights.
  : We thought a washing machine was available to use (we saw it in the pictures) but we were not able to use it (sign on it saying "do not use"). The other facilities (coffee machine, stovetop), however, were available and very easy to use.

  : Location well located. Very friendly owner.
  : Smell of mold in the apartment. Towels and bed linen smelled very nasty. The small bathroom would require renovation.

  : We loved the fact that Bruno took time to explain the apartment and environment and had a file with important information for us. He was very organised and a good example to others. The apartment was located well even if near a few sets of steps. Maybe not suitable for people with major mobility problems. A supermarket was nearby as well as the Rossio train station. The flat was well equipped .
  : A fan or some cooling device would be appreciated and maybe a non slip mat in the shower. The flat and the bedroom in particular got very warm in the hot weather. The front door locking device also needs checking.
