Tiago is such a great host as the reviews mention and I couldn't agree more. We didn't arrive until midnight and he was waiting for us at the flat with juice and pastries and a big smile as he was really excited that we were visiting Lisbon which he loves as a city. He had put together some really good reccomendations of bars and places to eat locally and kept in email contact throughout our 5 day stay suggesting more places we might like to try. Really a great host. The flat is great. It is right in the middle of Barrio Alto and really central to walk to and to explore the rest of the city. The streets really come alive at night with lovely little restaurants and lots of bars and a good lively atmosphere on the streets. Noise really ISN'T an issue. You can hear some noise from the streets below but we fell asleep really easily and didn't wake so don't let that put you off. Anyway you can always wear ear plugs!! The flat is really nicely furnished and looled after very well by Tiago. Lisbon is such a great city we will definitley be coming back. It has such a nice vibe to it and feels really lived in. Great views, lovely little kiosk bars and cafes in parks and on the street with 1 euro beer you can't go wrong!! Flea marker on the saturday is well worth it and great food and places to go out. You'll have such a good time especially in Tiago's flat :-)
