This is great apartment in a fabulous area and we really enjoyed our week in Lisbon . The apartment was as described and once you got up the stairs was perfect . I think that it should be mentioned in the blurb that the second floor apartment is up many many stairs which are incrediably steep , very worn and wet in places and because they are enclosed very dark ,not a problem going up as we found the light but coming down we never did find the light so one of us had to come down in the dark . There had been a couple of mentions about noise from above apartment which we did experience but wasnt a problem . The issue with noise comes from the fact that there is renovation all around Sofias building which on a couple of days made it unbeareable to sit on the terrace . It a lovely area with some brilliant restuarants but very little information was given by the host which is a shame and something easily recitfied with a book of info in the apartment . Having said all of that its a great place to stay and i would stay again .
