Lovely apartment in a quiet suburb minutes from all the main attractions. Clean and safe with all the necessaries to make for a comfortable stay. Comfortable bed! Great rental service with clear communication whenever needed. Initial booking was quite a hack but once booked - all seamless. Great mirrors throughout apartment which is often a thing rentals never seem to have. Vacuum and washing machine worked perfectly too. Great for longer length stays. Only down sides - there are no windows in the living area. TV is also not a smart TV which meant using my laptop for Netflix etc. Thank you team BirdBnB - x
Neighborhood
Just outside the main central hustle and bustle but central enough to walk everywhere. Nice quite suburb where you get a feel for the locals. Grocery store 2 min walk away which makes a huge difference! :) Lovely park to have morning walks or chill and cuppa coffee 2 min away.

Outside but not far from a tourist area, a nice walk (15 to 20 minutes) to the historic/downtown area.

This was a fantastic apartment, perfect for our month long stay in Lisbon. It was spacious, and close to great restaurants and bars. We really enjoyed the large windows that let the sunshine in, and sitting out on the balcony in the mornings. The appliances in the kitchen were great, the refrigerator was very large, and the water in the shower had great pressure and got very hot. The only thing I didn't like was the double bed, it was very firm, and felt like one of those beds you lay on for a massage, we took turns sleeping on one of the twin beds in the other room because they were softer. Also, keep in mind that this apartment is on the 3rd floor (which is technically the 4th bc of the way the lobby starts at 0), and there is no elevator so be mindful when packing because you will get a great workout carrying your bags upstairs! Overall, I would highly recommend this apartment!

Typical Lisbon neighborhood. Fairly quiet, nice shops and restaurants close by. Walkable. Easy to navigate.

The elevator stops at the first floor. You must climb about 20 steps to get to where you can get on the elevator.
The apartment has a hob and microwave, but no oven. The fridge is very small.
The landlord was cooperative about getting the shades and the heat pump fixed.
Rua de Santa Catarina is in the heart of the tourist district. If you like that, fine. If not, stay away.
Neighborhood
It is the heart of the tourist district. There are buskers all day when the weather is good. Even in the winter, the streets can be crowded. Besides the Metro, most buses start or end in Bolhão, so it is easy to get most places in Porto, once you figure out the bus routes.

Mau Feitio, a reasonably priced, traditional Portuguese restaurant with good food and friendly staff. Some of the staff speaks English.
Elee's, a steak place. The staff speaks English.
Gostos & Paladares, a reasonably priced Portuguese restaurant. The menu is limited, but the prices are fantastic, and the food is good. We saw police eating there, which is usually a good sign. None of the staff spoke English.

The apartment was absolutely beautiful and has great access to the metro. We had everything we needed for our stay of a few weeks. The communication was easy and always clear and we had a super friendly welcome and could always get in touch via whatsapp for any questions we had. Only thing that I would suggest as an improvement is the Internet speed of around 10 Mbit/s (November 2022) which is on the lower limit of what was necessary for us two people working a lot from the apartment via Zoom, Teams etc.

Typical living-area with mostly locals.

Apartamento muito acolhedor, com uma vista fantástica para o rio Tejo.
Sendo na zona antiga da charmosa Lisboa, está integrado numa rua com todo o tipo de comércio, onde se pode sentir o verdadeiro pulsar da alma portuguesa.
Acolhimento fantástico do anfitrião.
Recomendo vivamente a todos esta fantástica experiência.

1BR Apartment - Downtown Lisbon Chiado
Bewertet am: 15.02.2022 Length of stay: 16 days
The location is great, but the bed needs a new mattress, the shower needs a new shower head (although the amount of water coming out of it is not much anyway), the kitchen is alright but small.
There is a strange issue that when you use the hot water some of the hot air+vapor from the water heater comes back into the kitchen through the stove air exhaust, it would seem that both exhaust pipes are connected.
In summary, the location is great, and with a few small repairs/upgrades the flat would be a good place to come back and recover for the next day.
Neighborhood
Nice, touristy area with lots of restaurants and cafes, and many interesting parts of the city within walking distance. Also quite close to the shore.

Bewertet am: 17.01.2022 Length of stay: 2 months
AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! The flat was filled with mould and damp and the landlord only offered a clean of the flat with no partial or full refund offered. The landlord offered for us to leave the apartment, but we explained this wouldn't be possible due to our busy schedule and the fact we couldn't take time off work to move (we had over 30 boxes with us we would need to move, if we decided to leave early).
Many of our important belongings were destroyed by the mould including expensive artwork and clothes. The landlord did not offer to pay for any of the damage, even when we asked for it.
Further, there was a huge hole in the wall and other major issues with the apartment that were only visible after we checked in. They did not communicate these issues before.
Money grabbers. Please avoid AT ALL COSTS.

This is a lovely, spacious flat in a great neighborhood that offers all the amenities one would need while visiting Lisbon.
Neighborhood
While outside the major tourist zones, Saldanha is in the center of the city with probably the best public transportation in all of Lisbon. Multiple bus and metro lines are steps from the flat, making it easy to get anywhere in the city in minutes. Not as hilly as other parts of Lisbon; walking is easy and safe. Excellent cafes, bakeries, and shops are everywhere.

This flat is AMAZING! Looks exactly like the pictures and location is incredible. Everything we needed the landlords were super quick to respond and assist. I loved my stay in Porto because of this wonderful place and highly highly recommend that if you’re thinking about it, GO FOR IT!!!
Neighborhood
It’s a little quieter than the main city center, but only a 15min walk from the ribiera, bars and markets. It’s around the corner from a major bus station to take you anywhere else in Portugal, also a huge grocery store is around the corner, and a metro station at the end of the block.

All types of food, especially many vegan options and fantastic cafes just 1-2 blocks away.

Steps Lisbon @ Historical Center
Bewertet am: 21.07.2021 Length of stay: 15 days
I stayed in the Lisbon Steps apartment. I felt BnBird misrepresented the apartment that I stayed in on the apartment's listing: they described it as "gets tons of light during the day!" whereas in reality it was the darkest apartment I have ever stayed in. After I complained, they removed this sentence from the listing.
The listing also said "the bedroom has one comfortable double bed". This was only true after they replaced the bed with a new one, 1 week into my 2-week stay. The old bed had a mattress lying on a hard board that curved upwards at the ends, making it very uncomfortable to lie on.
BnBird were always friendly and polite in their responses. But I am frustrated that the flat didn't match the description, and I feel I overpaid for my stay.

A cute area with lots of cool coffee shops and restaurants. Walking distance to popular areas such as Cais do Sodré and Bairro Alto. Tram is right at the bottom of the alley, 2 minutes' walk.
