Staying at this Rua da Moeda apartment was a delightful experience. The space is compact but beautifully designed with a modern, elegant touch—everything you need is here, and it feels so comfortable to live in. Location-wise, it's perfect: just a short walk to Time Out Market, Bica Funicular, and the metro station where you’ll find a convenient supermarket. The small balcony is a nice bonus—it’s great for hanging out laundry. The only thing to note is that there’s no elevator, so carrying luggage up the stairs is required. But honestly, the charm of the place, the central location, and the overall value make it totally worth it. Highly recommend for travelers who appreciate style and convenience.
The apartment was fantastic—spacious, stylish, and the patio offered an incredible view of Lisbon’s skyline. I truly enjoyed the modern design and the cozy feel of the space. However, one thing to note is that the neighborhood has a heavy concentration of foreign backpackers and partygoers, especially in the parks and streets. We travel with our school-aged kids frequently to experience different cultures, and we prefer quieter, more family-friendly areas. If you're looking for a vibrant, lively atmosphere with late-night energy and don’t mind some street activity, then this place might be perfect for you—especially if you’re okay with spending around $400 per night. For families seeking peace and quiet, though, another area might be a better fit.
My partner and I absolutely loved our stay at Ando Living São Nicolau House in Lisbon!

The apartment itself is spacious, stylish, and very comfortable, with modern amenities that made our trip feel seamless. We appreciated the quiet, residential vibe and the privacy it offered. One thing to note: there’s no front desk or concierge service, so you won’t be able to check in ahead of time or store luggage. But for travelers who value independence and a home-like atmosphere, this is a perfect fit. Overall, a fantastic experience with great value and a central spot—highly recommend!
The room was excellent—clean, well-maintained, and comfortably furnished with everything we needed. The bed was particularly cozy, making for a restful night’s sleep.

The room was cozy and thoughtfully decorated, with a super comfortable bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful, always going the extra mile to make guests feel at home.

The food was exceptional, the coffee-infused drinks were inventive and perfectly balanced, and every dish we tried left us impressed.

We stayed for four nights and absolutely loved it! The room came with fresh fruit, milk, eggs, coffee, and tea—such a thoughtful welcome. The kitchen was fully equipped with a dishwasher and a coffee maker, making self-catering super convenient. Initially, we were assigned a room with a glass-enclosed toilet and bathtub, which wasn’t quite our style, so we requested a change the next day. They moved us to a ground-floor room with a regular bathroom—quick and hassle-free. Everything else was perfect: clean, quiet, well-located near the metro, and great value for money. Would definitely book again if ever in Lisbon!
