This was an absolutely lovely flat, nicely decorated, filled with interesting books and with the most amazing view at the back over Lisbon rooftops to the Estrella church and at the front onto the the buzzing Rua da Rosa. We left the flat ever morning to go to work and walked down the little lane opposite emerging onto the most square Sao Pedro de Alacantara with its beautiful fountain and idyllic views over Lisbon to the river - the location could not have been better with Principe Real a two minute walk the other way. This is not a flat for people who like silence though- the flat is at the quiet end of Lisbon's party street. While on week nights there was only minimal noise at the weekend it could get a bit noisier. The bedrooms are at the back and so are shielded to a certain extent but it is worth considering if you are a bad sleeper! We stayed at the flat for three weeks and it really had everything you could need - we were very sad to leave! The host was efficient and responsive to any needs we had- she provided an extra camp bed for one of my children and when there was a problem with the lights in the bathroom she sent someone in immediately to fix them.
