Barria Alto is a quite lively neighborhood at night. So people looking for some piece should go on looking. We had a nice stay in Lisbon and used the flat only for sleeping. The bed is quite comfortable and everything works fine. The only trouble we experienced is with the front door lock which is quite loose "portugesian", so it took us teaching from people living there to actually get into the house and quite some time when trying things alone. Maria was not there for help. However we really enjoyed our stay.
