Isabelle does everything to make you feel at home. Her comfy apartment is a pure bliss. Situated in the heart of the Bairro Alto, it was a perfect base for visiting the bustling city of Lisbon, a stride away from all of the action.

Everything you may need is provided, including Isabelle's list of the best kept secrets of Lisbon. Her suggestions made us feel like locals, avoiding the over-priced tourist traps, and discovering hidden gems. This is one of the times when you realize that renting an apartment directly from a host might prove to be a better idea than going to a hotel.

For people with disabilities, or physically impaired in any way, the climb up the three narrow flights of stairs to the apartment might show to be difficult. Apart from that, I don't have any reason to believe this apartment would not be ideal for anyone looking for cozy digs in one of the most vibrant neighbourhoods of Lisbon.
