Sofia's place it cute, cozy and very conveniently located! She was an excellent hostess. We didn't get to meet her, but she kept in touch through messages on here as well as WhatsApp. I was able to send her questions when we were in Lisbon and she responded quickly every time. The apartment is great and has all of the amenities needed. The area it is in can get very busy at night though, so heads up. We were there on Labour Day, and there were parties everywhere in the streets. There is a bar below this apartment that just kind of popped up out of nowhere (it isn't visible at all in the daytime). I did read about a bar through other reviews here, but wasn't expecting it to be a full on street party as well (very late into the night). I was able to fall asleep with earplugs & keeping windows shut (thankful for the air conditioning!), but when coming home it was hard to get to the apartment because of so many people. The bar was also open Thursday night (we weren't there for the weekend), and there were less people, so maybe the excessive partying was due to Labour Day.
Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her place, as long as you are okay with some rowdiness late at night on holidays or towards the weekend. Also, it's close to Manteigaria, so that is a huge bonus!! Thanks for everything, Sofia! Lisbon is a wonderful city!
