The apartment was in a very prime location, where Chiado meets Barrio Alto, which is great for shopping and nightlife. The apartment is very nice, and we had a very warm welcome from our host, Pedro, who took the time to introduce us to sights in Lisbon. However, our first night, the power went out several times, and also there was no heat and the apartment is poorly insulated. Finally received additional heat sources on the second day. There's also construction going on currently in the apartment building -- painting, hammering, etc, so it's quite loud, and the workers smoke inside the building, which wasn't so pleasant. Only saving grace is the location and the apartment itself has a lot of bedrooms and is nicely decorated.
