Just as advertised: in the middle of the very centrally locates heart of Lisbon in Bairro Alto, but on a quiet and residential street. This apartment is on the 1st (one up from street) floor so it makes for easy in and out and yet offers a great view from the balconies. The hosts were very good communicators and our checkin was easy even though we changed our arrival times due to change in plans. The apartment is small, but perfect for a short or long vacation. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils (no spices other than salt and pepper) and a coffee maker and refrigerator which was perfect for our stay. Beds were comfortable and living room/dining room proved more than adequate for us as a couple. Two couples may find it a bit small for a long stay, but should have so trouble enjoying a short 2-4 day getaway (we stayed for 3.5 weeks). I cannot stress how amazingly located this place is. You are 2 minutes away from the Miradouro Santa Catarina and less than 10 mins away from so many good restaurants. The nearest metro is just a short 10 minute walk away. I highly recommend the apartment and the hosts!!
