Nomads 1 Bedroom View over Chiado Square Lisbon & River

Lovely stay in great location. The church bells and seagulls created a nice soundtrack. Convenient to many sights with fantastic restaurants nearby.

WARNING: Read BEFORE you book!:The property is a very attractive unit in the heart of a heavy tourist area, but has a number of issues that make it a mixed bag at best. It overlooks a beautiful square in the Chiado neighborhood, which provides a great view, but there is an continuous FLOOD of both teenage tourists and vehicle traffic that flow through the streets directly below the apartment until well past 3AM *EVERY NIGHT*. Between the drunken laughing, singing, fighting, car horns, and ambulance sirens - all funneled by the stone architecture of the surrounding building directly into the unit - it was impossible to get any rest until maybe 4AM. The unit does have good windows that seal very well when tightly shut, and reduce the noise significantly, BUT doing so quickly raises the temperature in the unit into the high 80s, making it impossible to sleep. Which leads to the first of the maintenance issues in the apartment:- The AC does not work at all, but rather just blows warm air. I spoke to the mgmt company about the problem, and they were understanding, but were unable to make any repair option available until we were about to depart. I have no idea if they were able to resolve the issue after we left, but we would not stay there again until the AC is fully working, Without it, it's impossible to sleep without the windows open, and leaving them open makes it impossible to sleep due to the noise.More pros/cons to unit, but web site won't let me add more :-(..

We absolutely love staying at this property. Every window in the unit opened up to the beautiful sounds and smells of Lisbon. It was easy to drown out any noise by closing the shutters, but we loved it open. I spent my first full day in the apartment recovering from food poisoning. It had all the comforts of home plus a beautiful space of and balcony to experience the city from above. We are 65 year olds and in pretty good shape, and we knew what we signed up for with the five flights of stairs. Besides the luggage… we need to learn to travel later…, it really wasn’t a difficult climb for us.I would highly recommend this apartment to my friends. We loved it there!

The location and the view cannot be beat. And considering that this is an apartment for only two people, it is spacious with generously sized rooms. With all windows and shutters closed, we found the soundproofing worked well especially considering how central this neighbourhood is.But there are some cautions to be aware of:- The fact that the shower door does not seal and the shower doesn't drain properly and therefore causes flooding is a huge pain as other reviewers going back some time have noted. Considering how longstanding these issues are, I naively assumed the property managers would have fixed them. But no. We eventually figured out how to mitigate the problem. We also requested a lot more towels to clean up the mess, which were delivered the next day. My view is that the property managers should, at a minimum, provide clear instructions on how to deal with this issues plus sufficient towels to clean up. It was an unnecessarily super stressful start to our stay.- Notwithstanding what is stated in the description of the property, the bed is not king size. It is a queen. I asked the property manager to correct this misleading information, but as of the time I am writing, it has not been done.- While the clothes washer worked well, the drying cycle did not. This could be a "me" problem, but noting it in case it is a genuine issue.- The AC may have trouble keeping up when the temps outdoors are high. It was adequate when we visited in April.

Two of us stayed in this apartment for 10 nights in October 2024 and had a wonderful time! Trust the listing...this is an historic building and there are five flights of stairs to get to the apartment. The stairs are worth it but they're real. Pros and cons below. PROS: * Wonderful location and view - lots to walk to and close to several public transportation options. * Prompt communication from property manager, Joao * Spacious apartment, lots of light, high ceilings * Washing machine came in handy for a long stay * Well-stocked kitchen * Strong wifi that remained consistently connected during the 10 days we were there. CONS: * The outside door is not marked with the address, so we struggled for a while to find the entrance. After a long day of travel, this wasn't ideal. It would be helpful to have a picture of the door or a note about which stores are on each side in the check-in instructions. * It's an old building and has old building charm, but it also has a few old building issues. Joao was very responsive when we ran into problems and made things right, but I agree with the other reviews that the apartment could use some attention and repairs. The issues we ran into (leak during the rain, outlets not working) were minor and did not impact the satisfaction with our stay. * For a longer stay, it would have been nice to have a few extra pillows, towels, and blankets. Overall we were very happy with our stay and it was a great home base for our trip!
