I thought this place was great. I'm a really light sleeper, and as anyone that has stayed in lively areas of Portugal can testify to, it can get really loud and difficult to sleep. So I was a bit worried about staying here, but I had to say it was really quiet for the whole three nights and I slept really well. The bedroom window faced a wall, so there was none of the street noise that you usually get in Lisbon. I would go as far to say that you won't find a more quiet place in this part of Lisbon. So if you're a light sleeper, I would really recommend this place.

However, that's not all, the apartment itself is nice and clean and well maintained. The shared terrace really is as nice as it looks, in fact as we were checking in and waiting on the terrace, some tourists passing by at street level called out to us and asked if they could come up for a coffee (they thought it was a cafe). We had a nice little picnic supper with Portuguese octopus and green wine (vinho verde) one night and it was very peaceful.

The nieghbourhood is well located and it was fast to get to the train station (Lisbon SA) and the airport by metro. Maybe 5 minute walk (or less) to the metro. But apart from the train station and airport, we walked everywhere else, everything else we wanted to sight-see in Lisbon was pretty much walking distance including the castle.

All in all a great experience in my opinion. My girlfriend did mention that she thought there was a bit of a lack of natural light, but this was caused by having the bedroom facing a wall instead of the street. After 4 sleepless nights in Porto with a bedroom window facing the street, I've gotta say that I'm very glad that it was this way.

Was very happy with the apartment on the whole and extremely happy with the lack of noise at night.

PS - internet wifi worked well and fast.
