We absolutely loved our stay at Bárbara's place. Communication was always very easy and fast, and a charming friend of hers let us in at the time we agreed to arrive.

The building is on one of the hills, and the other reviews are speaking the truth when they mention that one needs to be in a good physical state to get up the hills. Steep roads and endless stairs, but that is probably almost everywhere the case in Lisbon. Do take a Tuk Tuk once, the driver might take you to another view point in the city on the way home, and the basic price is 10 euros.

There are restaurants and shops on the street, the flat itself is beautifully done (although on the 4th floor - and again, be prepared!). My friend and I are quite tall (6'1 and 6'4), and we found that in the building itself the hand rails / window height on the balcony / kitchen height was aimed at people of very much shorter dimensions, haha.

The bed was very comfortable (the view from the bedroom was amazing! and even better enjoyed with the near to 180 degree view from the balcony). The double bed had a duvet that was just warm enough (it was November and a bit on the chilly side at night), but my friend said that the single bedroom was too cold with only a thin cover (although there is a portable heater unit in the flat, and that heated up the room all right).

There is a TV and WiFi available. Being on the top floor it was very quiet - we almost never heard the neighbours unless they were in the stairwell.

There is a microwave, coffee maker, fridge with freezer section, iron, fans, washing machine, etc. pp. It really has everything the traveller who wants to feel at home can wish for.

Toilet paper, towels and shower gels are provided (although the latter seem to be really only for those who forgot theirs).

We would be happy to come back! Obrigada, Bárbara!
