We were trying to decide between a hotel and an apartment for our city break in Lisbon (the first away from the kids a long time!), and I'm so glad we chose Gonçalo’s place! it is a perfect location in the middle of Bairro Alto (but only 15 mins walk/tram from the castle, Alfama etc). Just walk out the door and you have an amazing array of restaurants, bars and clubs to choose from. The downside of this is that is can be a little noisy in the weekend nights if you are a light sleeper...bring earplugs and you will be fine (although our solution the 2nd night was to make sure we were out partying with the rest of Bairro Alto!).
Gonçalo was the perfect host; so accommodating with our requests and gave great tips for the local places to go....thanks so much, Gonçalo!
As a general sightseeing tip for anyone reading this, I thoroughly recommend hiring an electric scooter and going down to Belem for the day...it's a beautiful way along the river and nice flat cycle paths (unlike the rest of Lisbon!).
