Carlota is a great host, and she goes the extra mile to make sure everything is ok for your stay. The flat is compact, but has everything you need, including air conditioning and her building has a lift - both were appreciated as we visited during a very hot spell in October. The location is great, in the midst of a vibrant community on the edge of the Historical Districts. Lots of places to get food and drink of an evening and all very good value for money. There are amazing views from Carlota’s balcony and from the various viewing points just a few minutes walk away. The apartment is handy for the trams, but they are very busy indeed and we learned not to rely on them to get around. We managed to cover a lot of Lisbon - by walking or taking advantage of the air conditioned buses, the occasional taxi and the wonderfully reliable metro. Carlota’s place is a home from home and gives you the sense of living amongst a community rather than in a holiday apartment. Best of all it was really quiet at night, once the windows were closed and the shutters down. Highly recommended.
