This beautifully designed loft comes with its pros and cons.

Pros:
- Ideally located within a 5 min walk from the Avenida metro. If you prefer to walk, the apt is also within reasonable walking distance from a variety of Lisbon hotspots (i.e. Baixa/Chiado, Funiculario to Bairro Alto, Praia do Commercio)
- The apt's interior is tasteful and truly makes for a nice place to lounge around when not sightseeing

Cons:
- The neighborhood is nestled away from the Avenida de la Liberdade but remains very noisy (nearby construction by day, dogs barking at night). The setup of the area makes it so that noise and voices carry over easily and though shutting the windows is an option; keeping air flowing through the apt tends to be a higher order priority during summer

- The building's nature makes it so that there is no way to pick up the key from reception or a nearby person on call. And though, the property manager is more than willing to help and very nice, picking up the key when we first arrived proved tricky once rush hour traffic and tyres problem got involved (1 hour wait)
