We enjoyed exploring Lisbon and had a great stay at Dora's apartment. We knew the apartment was right in the middle of the bar & restaurant district, so we were prepared and brought earplugs just in case. The street below was filled with a noisy bar crowd in the evenings ---mostly on the weekend. However, we had no issues with noise for sleeping---no earplugs needed:) The newer windows blocked out a lot of it and sleeping in the bedroom at the back of the apartment helped as well. We had good night sleeps. We found the apartment to be pretty central whereas it was close to restaurants, market, shopping area, tram 28 and metro. Pizza place across the street; Thai restaurant next door; small market a few doors down (larger grocery market about a 5 min. walk). Dora emailed a couple times during our stay to check in and make sure everything was OK. We had a great stay! Cheers, C.
