Firstly the apartment was exactly as the pictures showed, and was a delight to stay in. David himself was a great host, very helpful and accommodating. Following a miscalculation on flight times, David even arranged to help us out in terms of storage which he didn't need to.

Prepare for hills, but that is part of Lisbon's charm. The location was great, a short walk to Alfama, the water front and after a little navigation Martim Moniz.

We only got a few cabs the 5 nights we were there. I highly recommend this apartment if you are aiming to be a little outside Bairro Alto and wish to find be closer to the non-tourist part of town.
