We found the apartment to be just as it looks in the pictures - clean, bright, spacious. The location was excellent - very central and convenient. The AC was great and made the place very comfortable. We visited Lisbon over a weekend (Thursday-Tuesday) and didn't have any trouble with noise from the bars below. We kept the windows closed and the AC running and slept very peacefully. We did find the bed to be a bit hard, but it's ok. We didn't have much communication at all with Maria and Pedro - instead we were checked in by their colleague João and he was the one who helped us with recommendations and some restaurant reservations. I would have appreciated some more responsiveness from Maria and Pedro but we still had a wonderful stay in their great apartment.
