Our stay here was great, the apartment was clean and comfortable, with all expected accommodations. A bar across the street provided lovely fado music at night, very romantic. The street itself can be noisy, and there is a tram right outside the door, but with the bedroom door shut and windows shuttered it was surprisingly quiet. The walls of the apartment are quite thin, and some of the other residents in the apartment could be loud at night. I am a light sleeper though and usually travel with earplugs, so wasn't too much of an issue.

Location was convenient to walk around the neighborhood and explore Lisbon. We didn't actually meet Sam, but he was easy to contact. Fatima opened the apartment and showed us around, and she was very friendly and kind, and even gave us fruitcake. Boas festas!
