We really liked the location of this apartment. It was located in a historic district where Fado originated. We met some of the locals and got a sense of the community living there. This made the experience all worthwhile. The apartment is in a very old building, which partly gives it its charm, but the apartment does require some maintenance. Our flight arrived in Lisbon early in the morning so we paid for the previous night. We had hope to check in early that morning, but that did not go smoothly. Keys were to have been left with the barbershop across the alley, but the barber was late in opening. Luckily we ran into a local that knew where the barber lived. Check-in could have been smoother.
