This flat is very nice, well located the rapidly gentrifying area of Santa Catarina; it is very close to Zapata, an excellent restaurant in this part of Lisbon and to the Centro Intercultura Cidade, which has often very nice concerts and food on Tursday for those who like getting off tracks of the more touristic areas. Joana has been a wonderful host, she maintained contact whilst she was on holiday and offered to come to help me if anything was needed. She nicely left some excellent juices, beers and coca-cola in the fridge and this was greatly appreciated. She has also gave us the entire day to leave the flat on our last day, which was essential for us, so really, you can't have better host.

The flat is well designed so that you can create a draft in the whole place leaving it cool during the day and night even if the temperature is over 30 during the day. We had a lovely time there and I would encourage anyone to stay there id they want a feel of Lisbon that is not at the centre of what has become a highly touristic destination (only in the space of a year). Finally, it is a typical Lisbon flat, in the sense that it is on a small street full of action with local residents, unlike other parts of Lisbon such as Baixa/Chiado or the Alfama which are sadly full of Tuk tuks and foreign investors, so you won't be disappointed.
