This is a fantastic apartment in the heart of Bairro Alto. It feels very authentic and has been stylishly finished, with particularly fine bathrooms. We were two couples and it felt as if we had a suite each, with plenty of privacy and comfortable shared space.
Cristina is an excellent host, very quick to respond to messages before and during our stay. She met us at the apartment at a time to suit us and let us leave our bags although we were hours early. She is a very warm, friendly person and very enthusiastic about her city. She offered us great recommendations about where to eat and drink. Rooftop bars are her speciality! And the restaurant downstairs which she recommended was excellent. She also booked a cab for us at the end of our stay to get us back to the airport and told us we could stay as late in the apartment as we liked as the next guests were arriving the following day.
The only slight drawback was the noise. Rua Rosa is quite busy and the traffic comes thundering up the hill most of the day. There is also quite a loud generator towards the back of the house which is on 24 hours. There was some street noise/music at night but this was not an issue - and exactly what you'd expect in Bairro Alto.
All in all, we really enjoyed our stay in Lisbon and would recommend the apartment to others. Thanks to Cristina for her excellent hosting.
