The hosts were very kind and communicative. We were surprised by the lack of air-conditioning (they called the standing fan an air-conditioner...perhaps a cultural thing) as well as the 53 step climb up to the third floor. This was difficult due to carrying our luggage while doing so. We should have packed lighter! The apartment was ok otherwise. The host had a washing machine but couldn't get it to work while demonstrating how it worked - no big, I wasn't in Lisbon to do laundry! The tv, again, not in Lisbon to watch tv, was so so tiny, but that didn't really matter either. The kitchen was very tiny, too, but again, not important as we went out to eat all our meals. The location was a bit disappointing for us as everything was closed up and boarded up as a lot of construction was going on (or perhaps because it was the weekend?) and we felt way out of the way - but, nothing a little walking couldn't solve. And we did a lot of that! Bring your comfy shoes, you climb and descend a lot in OLd City Lisbon! The hosts, though, were very sweet and offered to be on call should we have any concerns or questions. As no one was staying after us, they allowed us to check out a few hours later than scheduled due to our need to have our luggage somewhere safe while doing additional exploring before heading off to the Algarve. All in all, it wasn't a bad choice, just not a great one. Hope this helps.
