This space is mostly as described and is in an excellent location for touring (with the train, metro and ferry just across the road) and walking distance to many sights. It is very noisy at night and is best for those coming to Lisbon to enjoy the nightlife, as it then won't bother you. The stairs didn't worry us but it is something to be aware of. The apartment is very compact with low ceilings and some awkward places, but has everything you need including a full kitchen and kitchen table but no living room. The common area is shared between two bedrooms so not private, but we rarely saw the other other couple staying. Ana and Hugo were away but communication was very good and arrival was smooth. Good for the price which is not high. Recommended, but may not be for everyone.
