Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Perfect choice for visiting Lisbon
We have been looking for a place to stay on a 5 days visit to Lisbon and were attracted by the reviews we read.I am writing this on our last night here to say that this was one of our better decisions in booking a place to stay. It is in the heart of Chiado, very close to Largo do Carmo, 10 minutes walk down to Rossio train station and Baixa. There are lots of charming streets, alleys and unexpected delights around every corner. The apartment is charming and confortable and Mario who takes care of the apartment and guests is very friendly, helpful and is available in his office just in front of the apartment.Some people complained of the noise from the upper apartments so we brought earplugs but never had to use them since the noise is not more than what you experience in any regular city apartment. The only tricky matter was to open the lock of the gate but Mario was there to help and when he wasn't we managed.Still I would recommend to find a solution to this inconvenience.

Many thanks for this detailed review and kind words, Benni! I am glad studio was up to your expectations and that you had a good time as it was a pleasure hosting you. Location is unbeatable indeed and door is large, very solid and two centuries old. I know some guests struggle a bit with it (though others have no problem) but difficult to find a solution without spoiling the beaty of the door and without break the City Hall rules. Mario

Enjoyed our stay!
This is a lovely comfortable apartment with lots of character on a quite residential street surrounded by the wonderful Chiado neighborhood, centrally located in Lisbon with lots of shopping and restaurants. Mario, the Fado Flats representative made our arrangements for travel from the airport and was at the apartment to greet us. He was also easy to communicate with from the states. His office was right across the street and he gave us helpful hints and recommendations. We loved the fact that there were no steps. This apartment is fine for 3 adults. More than that would feel cramped. The sofa bed is not very comfortable, but fine for 4 nights. The bathroom is old, small but also fine for a few nights. We were very pleased and this worked out well for us. I definitely would recommend a stay here.

Lovely but not wheelchair accessible
This was a lovely, clean, well maintained apartment right in the heart of things. Mario was very helpful, and arrival/departure went very smoothly. I do agree with other reviewers- whoever lives upstairs seems to start walking about at 6am and spends the entire morning just walking up and down. This was pretty disturbing to holiday lie-ins! I thought it was important to note that this apartment is listed as wheelchair accessible, but it isn't- unless you don't need to use the loo for the duration of your stay, as both the kitchen and bathroom are up steps. Access through the front door to the main part of the flat is level, however.

Thank you Sally, I am glad you enjoyed your stay. All ancient buildings in Lisbon were built using a wood structure and no concrete was applied. This circumnstance does reduce sound isolation but so is the case in 80% of the buildings in centre town. As you pointed out studio is wheelchair accessible but it is not prepared (nor advertised) as suitable for guests unable to move without a wheelchair. Fortunately it was not the case. Mario

Ubicacion perfecta
Muy buena experiencia. El apartamento esta ubicado en Chiado, en una calle muy tranquila, cerca del metro y de los tranvías 15 y 28. Se puede ir andando a los barrios mas emblemáticos de Lisboa. Limpio, bonita decoración y con una cocina muy bien equipada. Mario nos dio información de como llegar y de los servicios (restaurantes ,transporte, supermercados... ) cerca del apartamento y como la oficina esta enfrente, en cualquier momento nos podía resolver nuestras dudas.

A wonderful experience in Lisbon
This is a unique property perfectly located in the Chiado area,we had excellent reception on arrival even though it was a public holiday.The property is well equipped and very clean,the shower tray needs updating,but it is still clean and functional. We did miss the lack of daylight but the little patio area compensates for this,and the noise from the upstairs occupant walking about early in the morning was a little frustrating,but one should be aware that Lisbon is a City of apartments and that this is a way of life here,after all,we don't complain about the steep steps and streets,all in all a wonderful experience.

Thank you Cliff I am glad you enjoyed your stay. Studio is unique indeed and location is unbeatable. Choosing character and a two hundreds years old property you may have to be prepared for some things that cannot be updated as sound isolation: concrete was not used in those days! Mario

Excellent location and beautiful apartment
Chiado 4 is in an excellent location for exploring Lisbon and the tastefully furnished apartment was superb. It is only 5 mins away from the hustle of Biaxa/Chiado but in a very quiet street so the best of both worlds can be achieved. The only criticism is that if you are a light sleeper you may find that the noise from people going to the upstairs apartments disturbs you, however I think that is likely in any old 17th century building and I think the character of the apartment (Chaido 4 certainly) more than makes up for that. Mario the Manager could have not been more helpful at all stages of our booking and stay.

Thank you Lydia, I am glad you had a good time. Best of both worlds is not always possible: either the character, original tiles and wood construction of a 18th Century flat or the perfect sound isolation of a 21st cement construction apartment! Mario

Perfection
Great week at Fado Flats!. Mario arranged our transportation to and from the airport which was done though Cross Lisbon.......wonderful service. What a gem this place is! All previous reviews are on point. Location could not be better. Would stay here again even for an extended stay. The apartment has a wonderful vibe that makes you immediately feel the Lisbon culture. Loved the bottle of Fado wine awaiting us after a long flight. Thanks again for everything Mario. Until next time, Tom and Kim

Excelente opción para pasar unos días en Lisboa
Estudio acogedor situado junto al Elevador de Santa Justa en Chiado, Barrio Alto. El sitio no podía ser mejor: Perfectamente comunicado, rodeado de tiendas, restaurantes y bares de copas, a 15 minutos andando del centro de Lisboa. El propietario Mario es encantador, nos brindó información de cuanto preguntamos (aparcamientos, sugerencia de restaurantes, mercados en las cercanías, etc). El piso es amplio, cuenta con mapas de la ciudad, Tv por cable, tiene cocina perfectamente equipada con todo lo necesario (aunque la comida que sirven en los restaurantes de Lisboa es tan abundante y a un precio tan asequible que prácticamente no es necesario cocinar nada), limpio, con mobiliario que te hace sentir como en casa. Tiene un pequeño patio interior, sofá cama y dos camas personales. Solo el baño es un poco pequeño. Imprescindible la visita a la Cervejaría Trinidade que está a la vuelta de la esquina. Ha sido un acierto haber escogido este sitio. Gracias Mario.

Perfect
Absolut perfect in any aspects. Exceptionally clean, fully equipped and everything worked in perfect order. Great location, close to everything. Mario is a true gentleman, he looked after us in a way we felt being at our own home, he always had time to help and advise us. I can’t imagine a better service, and would highly recommend.

nicely furnished, cozy rental in the baixa-chaido district
After 2 weeks of staying mostly in small bnbs/pension houses, Mario's apartment felt like we were staying in a palace ! It was roomy, nicely furnished with a fully functional kitchen. We love the fridge (cold drinks finally!), there is even a small sitting area outside by the kitchen but no street view. The apartment was accurately described and represented by the photos in the listing. Location-wise, it is a short uphill walk from the baixa-chaido stop if you exit from the chiado square. It is close to the train station, funicular station, a big mall (I forgot the name) and atm / grocery stores. My husband and I walked everywhere, we particularly liked going down the steps on Calcada do Duque because of the amazing view. It was easy to book the property, Mario was prompt in replying to emails. He was really accomodating, I told him that we were taking the overnight bus to Lisbon and would arrive very early. He said that he can meet with us as early as 830 am but I wasn't expecting that we could get into the apartment right away. He gave us short and clear directions about the area and the apartment. He also arranged for our taxi back to the airport. But be aware - the apartment is on a hill, but that is pretty much Lisbon for you, it is a hilly (and very picturesque) area. Some of the utensils/dishes in the cupboard were dirty but nothing that can't be easily cleaned with soap. There are no windows facing the street and you can get some noise from the upstairs apartment. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the apartment, and Lisbon in general. I highly recommend Fado Flats.
