We stayed here on a Saturday night and the neighborhood was exploding with college kids drinking and partying in the streets. The Bairro Alto neighborhood has the reputation of being the party part of town, but was surprised by how young the partiers in this area were. Chiado and other parts of town had lots of spots that were more appealing night spots for our early-30s tastes. Dulce's place is ideal if you plan to stay out past 2 am drinking, but it was pretty loud when we tried to head to bed around 1 am. I think it quieted down somewhere between 2 and 3am. Dulce is very sweet and was very accommodating to our changing arrival times which we really appreciated. The ceilings are LOW and the beds and couches are wedged into the angled parts of the attic so you have to be ok with tight spaces and not too tall.
