First of all, Ana was our host during our stay and she was pleasant, informative and punctual. She made sure we knew how everything in the apartment functioned and made sure we knew how to contact her in case we needed anything else. Thanks so much for that! The apartment was lovely, just as pictured, and our overall experience was good. There were a few negatives, that had I known about them, would have caused me to choose a different property to rent, but there were also some pretty good positives. The Pros: The apartment is located within walking distance of several squares and transportation hubs, which makes getting around Lisbon quite simple. There are multiple cafes, bars, restaurants, and plenty of shopping located within walking distance of the apartment, albeit quite expensive as you are in the heart of the touristy area. The apartment was well equipped with most of the things needed to enjoy meals at home, and there were markets available to supply you with the groceries to do so. I'd highly recommend taking advantage of this option as meals can get expensive in Lisbon. We were there the first week of August and that just happened to be when Lisbon was experiencing a major heat wave, so the air conditioning in the apartment was much appreciated. The units in the bedroom worked really well, but the one in the living area struggled to keep things cool at times. The apartment has a washer & dryer as well as an iron and ironing board, and that was a plus! There was also a hairdryer provided. The beds & linens were very comfortable, and the furniture was in good shape and clean. The wifi was sufficient for our needs (4 adults running wifi on their phones, computers, and tablets). The Cons: Being in the touristy area, things are expensive and the area is quite busy and can be loud. If you are in the front bedroom the street noise will likely bother you as trams frequently pass by. The apartment is located on the first floor of a building that also houses a hostel. When people go up and down the stairs, the noise from their steps and voices is incredibly loud. There are quiet hours, but the hostel clientele doesn't seem to adhere to them. At one point I had to stick my head out the door and ask them to please be quiet, and they ignored my request. They'd go downstairs and stand on the sidewalk below our windows and drink and continue to be loud. It was worse on weekend nights. The building next to this one is currently under extensive reconstruction and the noise starts every morning at 8 am sharp! It makes it almost impossible to sleep in. I would assume this construction could go one for a year or more as it is the entire building. There is a pretty bad sewer smell that emanates from the kitchen and some sort of...
