The best thing about Raquel's apartment is it's very central location. The balcony has a lovely view as you are 4 flights up. This apartment is a great base for exploring Lisbon.
There are a few things that need to be updated - light switches, gas cooker button and coffee machines broken. There is also no air conditioning which means the apartment is pretty warm. If you sleep with the doors open, then it does get quite loud due to street traffic.
Raquel was a professional and friendly host. However, didn't get in touch through airbnb until the week before we were due to arrive despite a couple of messages being sent to confirm everything was in order.
Overall, a good base for exploring lisbon as you are within walking distance of Chiado shopping, Bairro Alto and Alfama. Be prepared for the hills!
Thanks Raquel.
