Paulo is a great host, and this is an awesome place. He had no problem meeting me at odd times to check in / check out.

The apartment is located right in the middle of Barrio Alto. During the day, it's a gorgeous quaint neighborhood filled with laundry drying on the lines and neighborhood markets. At night, the dozens of bars and restaurants nearby open their doors with locals and visitors spilling into the street. Turn any corner, and you can get lost in a true Lisbon experience.

Bonus - this apartment has good cable TV. I was able to catch a number of US football games. A nice touch of home while on the road.
