Light Lovers Apartment - Principe Real

The apartment is very tastefully decorated, it has everything you need and the location is great. But the main feature is the incredible view from the windows.

Amazing place, amazing host.

Beautiful home!

Lots of stairs… but that’s Lisbon.

The light and the breeze

It was all great

Quiet street in a very central location. Very nice and spacious apartment. Easy communication and flexible host. Recommended!

Although we didn't meet them, the hosts were extremely communicative and helpful. For example, they dropped off some flat sheets when we found the comforter to be too hot and tried to contact us when our flight was delayed. There is a washing/drying machine in the apartment which is very helpful -- although instructions on how to use it would have been helpful. Very bright and tastefully decorated. Felt very homey. Great location for walking, catching the tram or the metro

The bathroom drains sometimes had an unpleasant smell but we understand that is an issue with older buildings -- we had the same problem in the house in which we lived in the Netherlands. It's difficult to fix. Also, nothing can be done about it but travelers should be aware you will need to lug your suitcases up two flights of stairs. We could hear a child running around in another apartment sometimes but luckily not late at night.

Great location in a quiet area, set within a historic vintage building. Close to public transport and within easy reach of the old town center. Heating is provided by electric radiators. Very bright apartment, as the name suggests, with plenty of windows—all equipped with shutters. .Great communication with the host. Paid parking is available a few hundred meters away.

There are water stains on the walls and ceiling in some spots, the furniture is quite old, and the small coat rack at the entrance is unusable as it is barely attached to the wall.

De locatie is geweldig. Veilig, leuke restaurants en parkjes.

Comfortable. In a lovely area. Peaceful

The decor was lovely, kitchen was fully equipped and the furniture was comfortable. The view was spectacular and the location was great. The host was kind and responsive.

wonderfully decorated apartment in great location. very bright with beautiful views over old town Lisbon and the bridge

bedroom was a bit warm, but fans provided and window to create draft was helpful

C'est l'endroit parfait ou rester. C'est dans un lieu central, avec pleins de bons petits bars et restaurants de Principe Real. Il y a une épicerie à 7 minutes à pieds. Le soir, c'est aussi très calme. Je me suis sentie à la maison très rapidement. L'appart était très propre avec tout ce dont j'avais besoin - machine à laver, lave-vaisselle. Ce que j'ai aimé aussi, c'est que, contrairement à beaucoup d'appart de type Airbnb qui sont très beige et quelconque, cet appartement était charmant et chaleureux. J'y retournerais sans hésiter!

Je n'ai rien à dire concernant l'état de l'appartement. Par contre, pour améliorer l'arrivée, je propose d'envoyer un courriel clair avec le code pour la porte. Mon arrivée a été un peu chaotique et j'aurais été plus en confiance avec une description détaillée de quoi faire à mon arrivée, surtout que je n'avais pas de données sur mon téléphone donc j'ai dû me trouver un endroit avec du wifi pour coordonner l'arrivée. J'aurais aimé avoir plus d'autonomie à ce niveau.

Close to the metro and easy walk to historic city as well as other areas: very quiet street and close to many good restaurants. Clean, bright and comfortable: well equipped and very nice view over the rooftops towards the water Easy communication with the host who are very accommodating.

There was a strange smell in the bathroom that we had a bit of trouble adjusting to: it may however be typical of Lisbon older buildings.

Very nice apartment. Good location.

We found the location to be very good, it was quiet and in a nice neighbourhood with cafes, shops and parks. Although the apartment is on top of one of Lisbon's hills, we found walking around the city relatively easy but slippery when wet. The apartment is well equipped for self catering and the bed is comfortable. The apartment is not air conditioned but there was a fan in the living room and another in the bedroom and the windows can be opened which was adequate for the temperature when we were there in October. However, the apartment would be hot in summer.

The instructions for the apartment and garbage were basic. We had to search for the disposal bins in the street, it would be useful to be told where the nearest bins are.

Das Apartment ist in einem schicken Viertel und entspricht den Bildern und der Beschreibung. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und die Tage genossen. Es ist gut ausgestattet und die Aussicht ist traumhaft!

Die Bilder an den Wänden und die Bücher sind nicht für jeden Geschmack. Es hat diverse Vasen und Statuen und wir hofften immer, nichts herunterzuwerfen.

Piękny, stylowy apartament z ładnym widokiem, na spokojnej ulicy. Przestronny, z wszelkimi udogodnieniami. Sypialnia komfortowa. Spało nam się doskonale. Czuliśmy się jak w swoim domu. Tuż za rogiem przystanek autobusu i tramwaju, którymi można łatwo podróżować po Lizbonie. Nieco dalej stacja Metra Rato, skąd dość szybko jedzie się na lotnisko. Po sąsiedzku piekarnia i restauracje a nieco dalej sklep Pingo Doce, odpowiednik naszej sieci Biedronka. Maria, właścicielka mieszkania bardzo życzliwa i pomocna.

Nasze wakacje zbyt szybko się skończyły.

This appartment was lovely. Ideally situated (100m from Botanical Gardens), in walking distance of historical centre, yet in a side street (nice and quiet). Well equipped with all that we needed - especially the kitchen. The flat is near buses and also the metro, which takes you to the airport in 25 minutes (one change of station).

For us the beds were quite hard, but that is of course, personal taste. And you do have to go up to the second floor (40 steps, no lift) - but Lissabon is full of hills, you are going up & down all day! That was absolutely no trouble to us.

Zeer centraal, maar toch heel rustig. Je bent binnen no-time bij alle bezienswaardigheden. Het appartement voelt als een thuis aan. Van alle gemakken voorzien en het ontvangst van Maria was geweldig! Ik kom terug!!!!

Geen

Persönlicher Stil. Nicht die übliche Ikea Einrichtung. 😇

Tipp: ein Topper auf der Matratze wäre super, damit Unebenheiten durch das Steppmuster auf der Oberseite ausgeglichen werden.

La surface de l appartement, le style le confort, rien ne manquait .Tout etait parfait . Tout etait pret pour notre arrivee ...proprete appartement ventile et cerise sur le gateau une bouteille de vin au frais . Bien situe, calme

Le seul bemol est pour la salle de bains qui est d une autre époque en décalage par rapport au luxe du reste de l appartement !

Apartment looks much better in real life than in the pictures! Excellent location, basically walking distance to many major cultural attractions. Great communication with the host and very nice views from the apartment. Tastefully decorated interior, very well equipped kitchen, good natural ventilation in the apartment.

The ventilation in the bathroom was bad and it would sometimes stink of sewage (but this is a Lisbon problem more than anything else, just like the parking). No AC in any of the rooms but it is a historical building so that needs to be taken into account, slapping ACs onto facades is not really good. NOT the property's responsibility but still relevant if you have a car rented: Parking in that area is a nightmare, super expensive and rather difficult to find. Make sure you pre-book a slot using the telpark app or website.

Tout. Appartement extrêmement bien pensé et très chaleureusement décoré. On s'y sent immédiatement chez soi. Le quartier est très agréable et vivant mais la rue est très calme, ce qui est capital à Lisbonne. Tout a été pensé pour des séjours confortables (fer à repasser, lave-vaisselle, lave-linge...) Une magnifique lumière et une vue dégagée. Clairement un appartement qui mérite son prix. À faire : Visite à Livraria do Traverso Jardin Botanico Musée d'histoire naturelle Jardim das Flores Nombreuses boutiques alentour Et supermarché + marché à proximité

Difficultés pour se garer dans la rue. Le parking est à quelques minutes à pied mais les prix sont assez rédhibitoires... Dans la cabine de douche, un ou deux petits rangements seraient nécessaires : pour poser savon, shampoing, etc.

Home from home, great location, everything you could need and great communication.

Nothing to dislike

A fantastic place to stay. Great view, great location and a lovely host keen to make your stay special.

Beautiful views. Bright clean apartment. Nice neighborhood. Helpful host.

No AC could be troublesome in persistent hot weather with apartment in direct sun most of the day. But there are excellent fans and also breezes.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The apartment is beautiful and comfortable -- and has everything we could possibly need. The view was amazing -- so nice to enjoy it while having our morning coffee. The location is perfect, in a quiet and picturesque neighborhood, yet close enough for us to walk most places we wanted to go. The local market in the nearby park was really nice. And there are plenty of great spots nearby to eat and drink. Last but not least, our hosts were wonderful and did extra to make us feel welcome. We will absolutely come back here again.

This apartment had everything a traveler needed for their stay. Our host met us at the property on arrival and was extremely helpful and friendly. The location was ideal, and the price was very reasonable. We would stay there again when visiting Lisbon.

We did have to navigate several flights of stairs to reach the apartment as there isn't an elevator. Not a huge issue, though, as the exercise was beneficial.

The apartment is aptly named; it’s bright and airy with a good view. It’s spotless, well equipped, everything works and is easy to figure out. It’s in a quiet location yet still close to grocery stores, restaurants, and transportation. Communication with Maria is easy and she’s a gracious host. Everything you could ask for in a short-term rental

Had a very light and airy feel. Everything we needed and was very comfortable.

Best location in Lisbon. Clean Beautiful apartment , host was very responsive as well. High recommend

The apartment is beautiful and feels like a home, situated in a great location. The host is really helpful. My questions were answered promptly. The place is clean and quiet.

Nothing.

The apartment was really lovely, and in a great, convenient location. We arrived quite early to the apartment, but were able to get in anyway, which was great.

The apartment was really lovely and bright. It had a lot of amenities, which made our week long stay comfortable and easy. It was in a perfect location, close to a lot of great restaurants, and it was easy to walk to most places. The apartment also had a lovely view.

The apartment got very hot at times, and although we had fans, it didn't cool down the entire apartment.

This was an amazing apartment in a location that could not be better. Francisco is also an excellent host. Would definitely stay again.

A very nice area to live in when in Lisbon, close by centre but still far enough for it to be quite and get a good nights sleep. The apartment was very cozy and equipped well with a nice decorating touch. Franscisco was a great host and easy to get a hold of when needed, even had arranged complimentary wine and coffee for us which was much appreciated. We never cooked in the kitchen but the view from there was very nice in the morning. Having a washing machine available in the apartment, and the Dyson fan kept us cool at night made it another plus. An overall recommended stay in Lisbon!

A bit of dust and dirt around the floors and under the bed. Could use some more thorough vacuuming. The bed was a bit hard but this is probably a personal preference depending on each guest. In the bathroom there were quite strong fragrance sticks which (when we moved them out because of asthma) we understood was covering a damp smell in the bathroom. Seems to be common with old bathrooms in Portugal though.

We loved our stay in Francisco’s Light Lover’s Apartment. The apartment is on the 3rd level of a charming older building with windows that provide a lovely view of the city as pictured. Swallows flitted about the terra cottage roof tops in the morning and the bridge lights and distant statue sparkled at night. The kitchen was well-equipped - we cooked everyday — even with oils and spices (which we used) as well as coffee and tea. Even though the apartment is close to a busy street, we were blissfully unaware of it. When we arrived everything was clean and welcoming. The location was perfect. We enjoyed the neighborhood’s old tilework, the cafe life that spilled into the sweet, neighborhood park. We were within walking distance of restaurants and super markets (ADLI is the closest, though we also liked Continente BOM Dia Santa Quiteria, as well as CAO Grande for a few local produce items.). We had hoped to swim and exercise at the nearby National Club of Swimming but it was closed in August - ah, well. We were also walked to many of Lisbon’s attractions. And, we took the train to Belem, Cascais and Sintra for day trips. Francisco was a great host. He met us at the apartment and showed us everything. He gave us nice recommendations. He checked in a couple of days later to ensure everything with the apartment was fine - great communicator. And, because we were staying for 9 nights, he scheduled a mid-week cleaning (and she did a great job.). Thanks, Francisco! This was our first visit to Lisbon - what a lovely city.

Extremely minor things to note. The mattress was a bit firm. (My husband is now noting there were some quilts we might have used to soften it which I failed to notice.) If you are a squeamish animal lover, do note there is some hunting art on the walls (I.e. painting with a bird in a dog’s mouth - that sort of thing.)

Light lovers' apartment was our last stay in a 2 month holiday in Spain and Portugal We had 6 nights. Absolutely perfect apartment. It has everything you need it was very quiet as it's in a residential area, not tourists area Great restaurant and cafes. It had a washing machine, dishwasher, and sofa it felt like home. Would absolutely recommend it if you like the non tourist area. 10/10

Nothing Perfect ✔️

Natural light !

The best place to stay, from all points of view (no word game here :) )

This third story walk up was furnished with eclectic art, antiques, and books. It had every convenience you could hope for while traveling. The location was ideal with shops, bakeries, restaurants, parks, and groceries all within walking distance.

Great location. Lovely ambiance and very comfortable. Had everything you need. Francisco was a great communicator and provided an excellent service.

We liked everything.

Friendly and helpful as we arrived late thanks to Easy Jet....

No smoke detector nor carbon monoxide detectors in the property, a little worrying with a gas boiler in the kitchen

Fantastic neighbourhood on the outskirts of the main touristy areas. A well furnished and spacious place with everything you need!

Even better than the pictures. Somehow it was so private yet with such beautiful light. After exploring, we realised it is the ideal location. You have wine bars, great bakeries, classic and contemporary Portuguese restaurants and a train station all in walking distance, yet still quiet in the building in the evenings as it neighbours other residential buildings.
