Ricardo is an absolutely awesome host. Already prior our arrival, he responded quickly to our e-mails and provided with lots of useful information (taxis, restaurants, etc). Knowing that we'd be travelling with our baby, he even offered to put a baby cot and tub into the apartment. He welcomed us very warmly and made us feel really comfortable to text him whenever we needed something. Absolutely great.

As for the apartment - it is really located in the heart of Lisbon. Newly decorated, it has everything you might need for a shorter or longer stay. We loved the cute little balcony, where we could drink wine (one bottle from Ricardo, merci for that) with the little one sleeping inside.

Centrally located, you basically do not need public transport to get around. Mind though, that Bairro Alto is also the heart of Lisbon's party life. People are on the streets until early morning hours - we wouldn't mind if it wasn't for the baby;) The windows are pretty soundproof, though.
All in all, it's just an aspect to be considered - we know for sure that the next time we'll visit Lisbon with our friends, we'll definately enjoy Bairro Alto and its nightlife - staying again at Ricardo's!
