The Old Corner House is a quaint flat on the third floor of a corner house in the Barrio Alto area of Lisbon. It has everything you need and if you have to be connected these days like me, the Internet was very fast (unlike our last hotel in Seville). The best thing though is the host Carla, she is so friendly and helpful. She came around and her and my wife were chatting and getting on like a house on fire. If you want to be in the heart of the action then this is the place to stay. It is literally on top of the action, three floors above restaurants and music and nightlife. We were there Friday and Saturday nights (bit quieter on Sunday) and the area was going until about 5am in the morning if not later. Close the windows and bring earplugs or get out and enjoy the fun. Walk the area up and down little streets and explore. There is a lovely lookout just up the road. The metro is just down the road though you can easily walk to the river front. We were lucky, our first night there we wandered into the square nearby and hoped on a tram 28 that was empty and got a seat (after reading in the travel books and online that it is usually impossible to get a seat). It was not empty for long I must admit. One thing about the corner house is that it is on the third floor of an old building. You do have to climb up a fair few narrow steps to get to the room. We had two large suitcases and it took some doing to carry them up there. But worse than that, and my fault not Carla's or the rooms, my wife has asthma and can find it hard going up stairs. I should have thought about that more when I booked the old corner house. Having said that my wife did make it up and down taking it slowly. All in all a fantastic place, well recommended, send a message to Carla and she will be only too happy to help.
