Susana's apartment is as big and beautiful as it looks online. So much space across all rooms and fabulously decorated to match. There is a little craft beer bar on the ground floor which only adds to the experience!
Area is generally quiet and for those that want to, you can walk up to Barrio Alto for some brighter lights and some noise at night. The area is also scattered with great independent bars/cafés/restaurants which you'd probably need a good 12 months to fully investigate!
You can also walk into the centre of Lisbon in 10 mins or so, but unless you're clothes shopping I'd swerve it for food and look a little harder to find places outside of the main shopping area.
We have been to Lisbon many times in the past and we'll certainly be using Susana as a host again!
