This is difficult for me to review because the host has a lot of affection for his apartment but I have to be honest for people wanting to stay after me. Firstly, excellent communication and a friend greeted me who was very helpful. Secondly, the apartment is well situated near largo de Carmo and within easy walking distance of plaza de Comercial, Rossio square and station and close to shopping streets and surrounded by cafes and restaurants. So really good position. But the apartment is very old and with that the floors are very uneven, low doorways, the underneath of the common stairway was in the kitchen so you could hear people going up and down and the front door faced the entrance which meant others in the building walked right past the door and you could hear them clearly. Also, street below got busy late at night and could clearly hear people below till quite late. Then around 4.30am the cleaners came and clanged and banged a lot. So be prepared for noise. Also, the apartment is quite compact. I was a single traveller and barely had room to put my suitcase, especially the bedroom. Ended up putting it in the living room. Don't know how 2 people could use the apartment, seriously. The bathroom was also quite small but the shower had good hot water. It was obvious you were staying in someone's home and if you plan to be out most of the time, it was ok.
