End of journey

Property was amazing and the front desk staff was so helpful. This building houses about 20 separate rooms like a hotel! The best was the outdoor garden area which was shaded, beautiful and relaxing. This complex was 6 minutes to the airport and in a less touristy part of Lisbon.

The Burn

A nice place, a bit of an oasis within the streets and close to the metro which was a bonus. We did however end up on the fourth floor which was a bit of a challenge.

Lisbon stay

Three 70 Canadians visiting Lisbon for a couple of days and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Vila Garden apartment 2. We didn't realize when booking the apartment was 4 flights of stairs which was a challenge and the lighting in the bedrooms were not bright enough to read by. We enjoyed sitting in the garden and Sophia who worked reception.

Great Stay

Overall we had a pleasant experience staying here. Front desk was very helpful. Only suggestion would be to have wine glasses in the unit as we wanted to enjoy a nice glass of wine in our unit and we didn't have any glasses for this. We were able to find some in the main kitchen on the ground floor but it would have been nice to have them readily available in the space we were staying in. Another thing that would have been nice to have is a comfortable seating space for all family members (we were 4) at the end of a long day of site seeing.

Did not enjoy our stay there. Thank God it was short. Although the place was clean, it was so not cosy and not pleasant to stay in. Staff at the front desk was nice, help us with the suitcases as there is no elevator in the building.

Must be Fit and not want to Sit!

Nicely decorated apartment, and in a decent location with easy access to metro. However, if you were renting one of the fourth floor apartments, make sure you are energetic enough to climb those four flights of stairs after a day of sightseeing in Lisbon. Although the property has a very nice, outside garden seating area, the apartment itself has virtually no seating area other than a daybed in the foyer and the chairs in the kitchen. Being first time visitors to Lisbon, we had no idea how tired we would be after a day of sightseeing, and how daunting those stairs might be . We are seniors who are fairly fit, but probably less energetic than younger visitors. Keep that in mind. Other than that, staff were nice and beds were comfortable.

Great for a overnight or short trip!

Lovely apartment and worked out perfect for a group of 4 (2 couples). Beds were comfortable, noise was medium, and bathroom was very spacious. Would not personally recommend for longer stays if you plan to hangout in the apartment, as the living room space is very small. For our group, it was just what we needed. Plenty within walking distance and very accommodating and welcoming staff. Thanks!

Get ready for those flights of stairs

Let me start by saying, yes there are a lot of stairs but hotel staff did help us get everything up and down the stairs. This hotel is such a little gem that no one seemingly knows about. The garden is so cute fyi. We were close to lots of things at this hotel so it was definitely worth the stay and the airport was a 10 minute drive straight down the road. Parking was the easist I experienced in Lisbon so yes, I would stay here again.

4th floor a killer without a lift

Clean. Decent size rooms. Narrow passages equals stop and wait:) Not great experience carrying bags to 4th apt...no lift..or even without bags My fault should have checked?? Can't understand why no Toaster in any rooms. Ok for younger travellers Good position on main road into the centre . Just a few £ in taxi Great city to visit. Bit hilly Expensive in some areas Cheap in others

Wonderful stay in Lisbon

Enjoyed our stay here, everything was very clean and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Loved the 24hr guest service. The only downside was the lack of common space in the apartment if you are staying with multiple people and the lack of space to store your clothing while there. It was fine for the three nights but any longer and I would want a dresser to store clothing so we aren’t living out of suitcases. Thank you for making our stay enjoyable!

This was indeed a gem steps away from the heart of Lisbon

Great apartment on the fourth floor. We actually stayed here twice during our stay in Portugal. The first time we stayed in apartment 1 which was just awesome and a nice fit for our family of 4. The second time we checked in, the receptionist checked us into the wrong apartment (apartment 2) because she had given our apartment to someone else 😡. Apartment 2 was not so great. First off it was small for us and the layout was just off. This review would have been a 5 if not for that little snafu. That being said, my review will be based on apartment 1. Apartment one was a great fit for our family. Nice layout and tastefully furnished. The only drawback was that it was on the fourth floor with no elevator and those stairs were a killer. Everything was nice and clean, we even had maid service. Definitely money well spent. Thank you.
