Set on the vibrant 'Rua do Diario de Noticias', the building captures the neighborhood's unique charm with its modest height and street-level commercial spaces. Your explorations have the perfect starting point here. Iconic spots like Chiado, Baixa, Rossio, and Avenida da Liberdade await you, all within a pleasant walking distance.
The space
Positioned on the first floor, the apartment greets guests with a blend of elegance and an exotic flair, nodding to the Brazilian roots of its owner. Sunlight streams into the living and dining area, which showcases tastefully curated decor. A central corridor leads guests to the three sizable bedrooms, two of which offer the privacy of en-suite bathrooms. Every bedroom guarantees comfort with ample storage and individual air conditioning. The kitchen, equipped for all your culinary needs, invites moments of home cooking. However, with Bairro Alto's rich tapestry of Fado houses and traditional Portuguese eateries at your doorstep, the temptation to dine out might just be irresistible. As a tip, the ground floor houses an inviting Portuguese Tapas restaurant that's well worth a visit.
The Neighborhood Bairro Alto is one of Lisbon's oldest and most traditional neighborhoods, a charming blend of old and new coming together in the most exciting way. During the day, Bairro Alto is filled with locals going about their lives and visitors meandering through its narrow, cobbled streets, up and down the hill, exploring the myriad of alternative shops, galleries, typical grocery shops, and many cultural spots. At night, this hip neighborhood comes to life with bar-goers looking for the perfect drink or some live music in the several bars and restaurants available and ready to welcome everyone.

Great family-friendly apt centrally located
Lovely stay here with great check-in, great communication and accommodating staff. The apt was cleaned well and was comfortable for our family of 6, two seniors, two adults and two young children 3 and 5. It’s a one floor walk-up but wasn’t an issue. The street is quiet during the day but super rowdy and lovely at night. There are sound-proof windows so the noise was not an issue. Location is great and walking distance to most things we did. Of note, it’s a bit challenging to get around the city with a stroller but we did it a couple times. Overall, a great stay and would recommend!

Lisbon Apartment
We have mixed reviews about the apartment. I'll start with the positives. The apartment was spacious for a family of 6 adults. Two of the three bedrooms had an attached bath, and the 3rd very small bedroom had use of a hallway bath. The kitchen had the basics needed for a comfortable stay. We were given a bottle of water, milk, juice and a few coffee pods which was nice to start the trip. This apartment is on a street that has a few bars and restaurants, and it is quite lively in the evening. There were shutters that helped block the noise, so even though it was really noisy outside, we were fine inside.
Now for the not so good. The smaller suite was disappointing as the bed was super uncomfortable. You could feel the springs in the mattress. Additionally, the air conditioner in that room was dripping water. We were 'lucky' because one couple left early, so the people sleeping in that room were able to move the the small bedroom to get some sleep. I honestly don't know that the 3rd couple would have stayed if they were not able to switch bedrooms. We couldn't find any extra garbage bags or paper towels, so that was disappointing. It would have been nice to be able to take out the garbage at least once during the stay.

Heading to the Camino
This property was perfect for 4 friends getting together before we set off to walk the Camino. The apartment is spacious and each room has its own bathroom. We had some issues with two of the showers not draining properly and informed the host upon checkout. The host was disappointed that they didn’t know earlier so they could fix the issue - that was nice. Overall an excellent stay in an excellent location.

Good overall with some issues
Overall good apartment with a lot of space. We were 3 couples and there is enough space for all of us. Apartment is in restricted neighborhood and we were not able to drive to apartment and have to walk 3 blocks with our luggage on cobble street. Residents have special card that allows to drive in that neighborhood but we were not given that card. Taxi have permit but not Uber.
Another thing - there are restaurants on the street and it's pretty loud till 3 am. It's OK when windows are closed.
Kitchen were lacking some basic stuff like plates and wine glasses.

Fantastic Home
Our family truly enjoyed our stay at this truly spectacular home. This was the 3rd and final location we stayed at during our family vacation in Portugal. It was hands down - our favorite place on so many levels. From initial booking to check out - management was extremely attentive, professional and kind. All bedrooms had comfy mattresses and linens - something we did not experience at our 2nd location. The living area was perfect for relaxing as a family after dinner to watch tv or hang out and talk - very inviting and super comfortable. Although we dined out - the kitchen is fully equipped should you wish to stay in and cook meals at home.
If you do stay in, there is a bright and cheerful dining room next to the kitchen with a large table to accommodate your family or friends.
A huge thank you to William and team from Gem Management for communicating with us so professionally throughout the entire process.
William was at the property to greet us with a warm smile when we arrived at the property - thanks for making us feel so at home.
We could not have asked for a better experience or stay in Lisbon. On a scale of 1-10, we rate this property and management team with a 20.
Extraordinary in every way!
Our thanks again -

Loved Master Deco Gem
It really was a Gem! In the heart of all the action. Walk out the door and the restaurants and bars lined the streets. Great energy. The Portuguese people were very warm and friendly. We were concerned about possible noise, but the windows really are sound proof! The beds were comfortable but could definitely use more pillows. Overall we were very happy with the accommodations.

Great location, awesome apartment
4 adults stayed here for 2 nights (1 was a couple sharing a room). I wished we had stayed longer. The area is very busy with tons of restaurants and bars and people, however we could not hear any of it inside the apartment which was wonderful. Bruno was waiting at the apartment to check us in and he was awesome. Not only did they give us coffee pods, but they also left milk and juice for us, what a wonderful touch. We were travelling 5 cities in 14 days and each time we would have to find milk and/or sugar so this was exceptional service. Unfortunately this was at the end of our trip and wished we had stayed a few more days in this great apartment in an awesome area of town.

Lovely apartment in Bairro Alto
I came to visit Lisbon with my husband and 3 friends, all in our 60s. We found this charming apartment in the heart of the Bairro Alto neighborhood. We didn’t realize it was a very busy area with a very active and vibrant nightlife, full of restaurants and bars. It was packed with people partying in the narrow streets at night. We were worried about the noise, but it was amazingly well soundproofed and the windows blocked out all the noise! Many good restaurants and places to hear Fado music in walking distance. The location was really great!
The spacious apartment was nicely furnished with 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, a kitchen stocked with dishes and utensils, and comfortable living room and dining room. Only problem was the appliances didn’t work well, like the dishwasher didn’t really clean the dishes, and clothes washer/dryer which had a broken handle, and didn’t dry the clothes well. But there was a nice big drying rack and our clothes dried quickly in the air. We also found the beds very hard and could have used more pillows. The bedrooms had lots of closets and drawers and the bathrooms were roomy. Overall it was a comfortable place in a great location with lots of room and reasonably priced.

Close to everything
Really good property which is close to everything particularly bars and places to eat. If you like the night life this street is party central on Saturday, however the noise doesn't disturb in the apartment.
Check in was easy and the staff were very helpful, particulary Joao. Although there were some problems with the electrics and plumbing it didn't put us out at all.
overall a really good apartment and we would definitely use again
