Why choose a portable AC in Baixa / Rossio?
Tall Pombaline buildings (5–6 floors), with an anti-seismic timber cage. Interior wooden walls that insulate poorly. Large, tall windows that let in plenty of direct sun.
Indoor temperature in July–August: 29–31 °C. Flats with south-facing windows (Tagus view) suffer the most.
Legal restrictions in Baixa / Rossio
Classified historic centre. Exterior split units forbidden on the main façade. In some buildings they're allowed on the inner courtyard side if the condominium approves — a process of weeks. The immediate alternative: a portable AC.
How we deliver
In Baixa many streets are pedestrian-only and parking is practically impossible. Picking up at the meeting point (Praça da Figueira, Rua da Prata or Praça do Comércio) is free. Door delivery carries a fee based on effort: €15 with a lift or up to the 2nd floor; €25 for a walk-up from the 3rd floor (up to ~€35 from the 5th). Tell us your floor and whether there's a lift on WhatsApp — we'll confirm the exact amount first.
