Dora's place is right in the heart of the Bairro Alto. This is a great location if you are in Lisbon and want to take advantage of the nightlife. The front bedroom can be very loud at night, but I found that the noise is significantly less in the back bedroom if the doors are closed. The location is central is in walking distance to many different parts of the city. The apartment had everything we needed for cooking basics, as well as a washer, dryer, and clothesline. Keep in mind that this is a 4-floor walk-up with somewhat steep, narrow stairs, in an old building - so if you have very large luggage, or have trouble climbing stairs, this may not be the place for you.
