The landlord was very helpful and interested to solve all of the problems as they arose. The apartment is in a beautiful neighbourhood with an amazing view from the 9th floor balcony.

Our host was super friendly and met us to make sure we settled into our apartment quickly. We were given some welcome gift which made us feel at home too. The location of the apartment is very good; near cafes, shops, restaurants and within walking distance of two metro stations and within close proximity to many bis routes too.
The apartment itself had most of the basic items needed to make a stay comfortable. In a few places the apartment looks tired and could benefit from a little bit of TLC. However, there is a balcony which is a great place to spend time on a sunny day as the view is amazing. We had a great month in the apartment and would recommend the place to other people looking for temporary accommodation.

Neighborhood
The neighborhood has an authentic local feel to it with many great shops, restaurants and public transport links. It was a safe and friendly area in close proximity to all major routes to the centre, beaches and the countryside.

Didn't return my money back! Not trustworthy!

We booked the apartment for 6 months. After staying for there for 3ish months, we found our permanent apartment so gave 30 days notice (on 20th of the month) as per Flatio's guidance. When we gave notice, we had already paid the rent for the following month (up till 30th of the following month). This meant that the landlady was supposed to return the last 10 days rent to us given based on our 30 days we would check out 10 days early.

When I asked the landlady to return that money, initially she was like after you checkout I will return it. So I waited for that but once I checked out she stopped replying. I contacted Flatio to help with the issue but they mainly kept saying that she isn't replying either. I would think that given Flatio's service fee (I paid 841 euros), they will take care of this issue on their own and give me my money back. Additionally, seems like there were no consequences for the landlady given this listing is still active and she got other renters.

I would just like my money back.

Very cosy and comfortable studio and great communication with landlord. Experienced an unforseen issues with keys during my stay, and even though they were out of town, it was fixed within an hour.

Neighborhood
Great neighborhood if you value things like not having to waiting in line, big crowds and night time noice. It is clean, quiet, friendly and has everything you need close by.

Recommended places nearby
Gulbenkian Gardens and Museum.

There are also two Lisbon institutions that is a must to visit close by:
* Galeto, where you can get traditional portuguese food served until 3am in a really cool atmosphere
* Versailles, one of Lisbons oldest pastry shops with white table cloths and lovely service and food

Cozy flat in Campo de Ourique

Rated on: 24.10.2022 Length of stay: 20 days

Pros:
-Loved the neighbourhood, lots of cozy cafes and restaurants around, local feel.
- Lovely balcony for coffees or dinner when the weather allows.
- Good wifi, we were working remotely and with two tables, it was easy to manage for 2 people.

Cons:
- the flat smelled of cigarettes, which went down over our stay as we kept ventilating the flat, but is still there.
- very loud sound of planes, the flat is literally on its landing/take off path. You get used to it over time, but something to note.
- half-broken window blinds. We got a quick response from Theresa who sent a handyman to fix it, but he could not fix it fully, so you have to roll them down manually.
- since you have to touch the blinds to get them down, they could be cleaned in the between tenants as they get dirty. Same for the outdoors balcony space.

What could be improved:
- no hoover in the flat, would be nice to have it for regular cleanups
- microwave seems to have issues, we used it once and it kept beeping non-stop.
- communication on Flatio with the agency, we wanted to adjust the dates, but received no response until it was too late to get back the money.

Neighborhood
Similar to Gracia in Barcelona.
Lots of American and French influence, lots of schools around and old people. Very nice and local vibe.

Recommended places nearby
Jeronymo cafe for remote working, neighbourhood square to feel the vibe and Padaria Portuguesa in the same square for good pastries.
