No elevator in this seven story apartment complex, but still one of the best apartments I've stayed in. Between the outstanding location, right in the heart of one of the most popular areas of Lisbon with easy access to food, shopping, nightlife, history, and entertainment, and the great use of space with good views of the Main Street on one side of the apartment and the castle on the other, this is an excellent apartment. It does get knocked down one star for not clearly stating in the ad that there's no elevator - I had a small suitcase and could walk up to the top floor - but those with mobility issues will find this a problem. The top floor also suffered for having sloping ceilings - especially in the bathroom where using the toilet proved an interesting challenge. This place would benefit if it had some sort of laundry facility - it would make it a stand out among Lisbon rentals. Anyone staying a week of more and only carrying a small suitcase is going to need some fresh clothes at some point!
Air conditioning and wifi worked great; comfy beds and two TVs. Lovely little kitchen which I only used for the Nespresso maker and to enjoy the view.
All in all, if you're looking for a good place to stay for a week or more while in Lisbon, Otilia is a great choice! read more
