This is a totally renovated apartment in a new building. The terrace is nice, even though there is not much of a view (double check one of the chairs as it was a bit wobbly), but the Lisboa sky is always worth enjoying. Check-in was easy (access code, not key, which I much prefer). It does dispense with the person to person contact between guest and owner, which some people prefer, but for me the efficiency of the process was preferable. Luis provides a list of places around the apartment (to eat, to enjoy the views, to visit) and that's not only helpful but awesome. There is a lot around the apartment even before one gets to downtown. Just be mindful that you are on the 4th floor, in the Bairro ALTO, no lifts. You will go up and down stairs and hills, all the time. But this is an essential part of the Lisbon experience, so enjoy it! The only small complaint was that the place was booked for 3 people and the sofa bed was not made. But sheets and towels were available so we found them and that was ok.
