Carlota is a lovely host- very warm and enthusiastic and communicative. She recommended some bars and restaurants that were perfect for us.

Unfortunately we felt that the flat had not lived up to the previous reviews:

Firstly the apartment is definitely NOT quiet. We slept with ear plugs but you could still hear the partying on the street below. Early in the mornings the bin men clean up after the parties- glass bottles are churned up creating an almighty crashing and the bin men shout over the top!

Secondly there is a problem of damp around the windows which needs some attention as there is a very musty smell in the apartment.

Overall we felt the price was fair for the condition of our stay. We spent very little time in the apartment and it was very easy to see all of Lisbon from the location.
If you are a heavy sleeper and want to be literally in the heart of the action- this is the apartment for you!
