The photos on the listing were a great representation of the place and we got what we were expecting with no surprises! Antonio was prompt in replying to email messages, though there wasn't any need for a much communication (just arrival and departure details). Ana was waiting for us at the front door of the lobby and gave us a quick rundown of things to do in Lisbon, which was great since we hadn't planned our trip very much. She was very friendly and welcoming.

The neighborhood that the apartment is located in feels extremely safe. It has lots of great restaurants and bakeries nearby. We loved how the grocery store and a stop for the Tram 28 route was just around the corner. We found that it was a bit far from the more central area of Baixa/Chiado and it's a further walk than expected due to the hilly nature of Lisbon. With the cobble stones in the street and sidewalks of Lisbon, we found it quite difficult to drag our small rolling suitcases down the walk.

Since Lisbon was the last stop in our trip through Europe, we had pretty much blown our food budget once we arrived and were also exhausted and couldn't keep 12+ hours/day of site seeing. We were very comfortable at the Lisbon Lifestyle House and actually spent a lot of our time just relaxing there, watching TV, eating food from the grocery store nearby. This was in great contrast to our other accommodations in another city where it was quite inhabitable so we avoided being there and would go to sleep as soon as we arrived and leave ASAP in the morning when we woke up.
