Sylvia's apartment was the perfect introduction to Lisbon and Portugal. Spotless, tasteful and comfortable, there was plenty of room for two and everything we needed including complimentary wine, port and even coffee. The location was super-central with plenty of restaurants and bars, including a wonderful Fado place, Tasco da Chico literally around the corner! We stayed during the beginning of the week, so we didn't experience the nightlife that Bairro Alto is know for, so we had no problems with noise at all. (The only challenge would be getting here by car with all the tiny one-way streets so definitely walk and save the rental car for when you leave Lisbon. )
I have to thank Isabel too, for being so patient when our arrival was delayed on our end and we repeatedly re-scheduled the time to meet. She was very forgiving ! ;)
If I could choose the type of apartment to live in here, it would look just like this!
