It was the best decision to choose Diogos place, it is so close to the night life in Bairro Alto, yet still in a quiet street. The flat was perfectly clean and well equipped.
We didn't have the luck to personally meet Diogo, but on arrival the neighbour lady let us in, gave us the keys, and passed on her phone with Diogo being on the line. He explained everything we needed to know, and gave us very useful tips, including the best restaurants and bars in walking distance. We did try many of those suggestions and we were not disappointed!
I recommend you to have a paper and pen at hand when you talk to Diogo, to take notes of his recommendations. There are many, and he explains the directions as well. As I wasn't prepared with paper and pen, I juggled with all the information in my head, but I'm glad that I remembered and found most of those places.
As many guests have already mentioned, the view from the room is amazing. You can see the river. Some of the bars nearby also offer great views.
The kitchen is also fully equipped, in case you want to save a bit of money and cook for yourself. The only thing the flat doesn't have is a washing machine, but it's not a problem, because 5 minutes away you find a very modern and affordable laundry service in Bairro Alto, where everything is explained in multiple languages and stays open till 22:00. When you visit bars and clubs in Lisbon your clothes will smell of cigarette smoke, so you might want to refresh your clothes. Alternatively you can hang your clothes on the washing lines outside the window on dry days. You will find clothes pegs too :)
To sum up my review, we totally loved the flat, and if I go to Lisbon again (I hope I will) Diogo's flat would definitely be my number one option.
Thank you Diogo!
