My husband and I were very warmly received by our host, who not only showed us the apartment, but offered many great tips on what to do in the neighbourhood, including the best seafood restaurants and where to find Lisbon's most delicious pasteis de natas!

The apartment was very clean and well equipped. In fact, our hosts even had a bottle of wine chilling for us in the fridge! (Wow!) Additionally, I would say that the bed was one of the more comfortable hotel/AirBNB beds I have had the occasion to sleep on.

Staying in Barrio Alto is alot of fun as it places you right in the heart of the action; great people-watching, restaurants and bars, and overall festive feel. Later in the evenings, the noise in Barrio Alto becomes pretty loud, but Estela's studio has a fan that provides enough white noise to drown out the chatter. (My husband and I are urbanites ourselves, so we are no strangers to the city soundscape, though nothing really does compare to Barrio Alto!)

I would definitely stay here again or recommend it to friends.
