We were very warmly welcomed by Tiago's friend Laura when we arrived at the apartment, and she showed us all we needed to know about how things in the apartment worked. The apartment is small but it's perfect for 2 people and it's right in the heart of Bairro Alto, very close to Sao Pedro de Alcantara park (home to one of the nicest panoramic views of Lisbon!). While it's rather loud at night in Bairro Alto, we were happy to discover that we could mostly block out the sound of the late-night revelers by closing the windows and shutters. There's a ceiling fan that keeps things cool when the windows are closed, too. Overall, it was a great place to stay! The neighbourhood is pleasant. Everything around is pretty walkable, and the apartment isn't too far from the Restauradores and Baixa-Chiado metro stations. Inside, the kitchen was well equipped and the wifi worked perfectly.
