Portugal Ways Conde Barao Apartments

We stayed only 1 of the 5 nights we had booked in this apartment. Very poor condition, pictures in the ad are 10+ years old. Self-check-in means you do not personally meet anyone at the door. When you walk in, you see generally poor condition furniture, overall lack of cleanliness and a long time stench of stale tobacco. The door of the apartment we were assigned was ill fitted and we did not have a feeling of safety. The neighbourhood is...how to say this tactfully...in transition. I have a feeling there are minimum security prisons that have better furnishings and less smoke stench than this s**t pit. It’s also very dark coming in at night and the motion activated lights don’t come on until you are well inside - by then the exterior door has closed...it’s just kind of creepy - I do not recommend. From the sheet toilet tissue dispenser to the institutional wall soap dispenser, these are the “amenities” you can look forward to....caveat emptor.

It was a normal stay but the strange thing that you enter the property without any human contact it's really bizarre

Very good location. 15 minutes easy walk to the centre. Excellent transport links.

To be fair we arrived around midnight , had the door code but poor lighting necessitated frequent attempts to enter. Once inside the timed lighting was poor and we calso had many attempts to use code as each time light went out we had to restart code. Very dissappointed in the apartment as we had expected a lovely view as per photograph and all we had was a run down building facing us and noise from a bar next door leaving. The interior of the apartment was as advertised , but the television was tiny and very hard to connect. There was no way we could access wifi as wewere not given the password and no information or welcome letter was waiting as we are used to. No maps etc . Noise was a problem. We have been to Lisbon many times and will be returning in a few months . I would not choose this area again, and this apartment would not be a choice for us. I will say I was impressed by the cleanliness and the comfort of the beds. Wifi connections and availability is a must for us as we book hotels and flights as we go. We also like a bit of T V news briefly in the mornings.

They location is very central and convenient. The apt is spacious. Unfortunately there was construction while we were there and it was too noisy and dusty to sit outside on the private terrace.
