Vincenzo was extremely friendly and helpful. The apartment was beautiful and cosy, and I miss it already. There was everything I needed. The bathroom is big, the kitchen is well set up and there are lovely windows and breezes. The neighborhood is central and there are lots of great cafes and restaurants. The things bothered me were 1) it can be quite noisy at night because of the restaurant below, which keeps its doors open in warm weather. The noise stops by midnight so if you are out late, it won't matter. It also wont't bother you if you can shut all the windows and shutters. But if you want to go to sleep early with the windows open (which you have to do if it is hot, since there is no air conditioning) this is not the right apartment for you. 2) There is also a lot of climbing--stairs and hills--in this neighborhood, so it is best for those who are fairly fit. I would strongly recommend it to some people I know--younger and more nightlife-oriented--but not to most older people. That said, it was a wonderful experience in Lisbon and my legs did get strong!
