Our host was lovely and met us at the time arranged, gave us tips of the local area which was great. We did notice straight away a really bad smell of sewage and damp which was there the whole time during our stay and has affected my review. It may be because the studio is on the ground floor and its an older part of the city. It seemed to stem from the shower room, but as it is a small apt the whole apt smelt awful. However apart from the smell the apartment itself was very clean and bed was super comfortable. The location is OK, if you like to walk as it is right up next to the castle but as long as you know that there are a lot of steps and cobbles in this area. A tip...bring trainers!! Other note is that the area itself is very noisy, mostly actually from the people in the apartment above, just walking around is very loud in this apartment below and we had guest arriving at 1am one of the nights. So my husband struggled to sleep after that...I had noted this on other reviews so had earplugs ;) The street itself is busy so you might find people chatting right outside your window and as it is ground level we could never really have the shutters open as people could see straight in. Lisboa is fab though and you will have a great time!
