The description of the apartment was accurate. The area, particularly on Friday and Saturday night was pretty noisy, but the activity was exciting. The overall location was very convenient. We were left to our own devices to figure out Lisbon, not that the host should be a tour guide, but some general information would have been helpful. There were a few tour guides/pamphlets in the apartment however. Other posted reviews indicated how helpful the host was, but that was not our experience.
