Patrícia is a wonderful and kind host. She is very easy to communicate with and her English is perfect. We arrived later than we thought and she was waiting for us at the apartment, without any remark. A perfect example of how nice Portuguese people are. We will really miss their kindheartedness and hospitality.

The apartment is big and very clean. Even the bathroom was spotless. The apartment is solely used to be rented out. This is nice in terms of closet space and not so much knick knack lying around. But it does lack a bit of a homey feeling because of this. Everything basic that you need is there, but nothing more. However, there are plenty of magazines left by other travelers, which is nice. And lots of maps. Patricia also provides a list of great places to eat/visit, which was super helpful. You can explore Lisbon like a local!

You have to know however that the area is a very touristy area with bars and restaurants. It's wonderful in terms of location, and public transport. But the noise on the street in the weekends is pretty intense. This has nothing to do with the apartment (there's isolated glass) but you will have shouting tourists until late in the night below your door. The first night we slept in the big room but the bed was really squeaky so we moved to the smaller one, which was fine. There is however some kind of air vent outside that makes quite a lot of noise. So if you're a light sleeper, this apartment can be a bit intense.

We loved Lisbon, and everything it had to offer. The apartment was wonderfully located, and it's crazy how many restaurants you can choose from. As said, Patricia is lovely!
