Paulo was a great host. He sent a lot of information beforehand on sights to see in Lisbon as well as going over the local map once we arrived. He was also helpful in getting cabs for the airport and available by text. The only snag was that we waited quite a long time for check-in, since there was a water main break and he was stuck in traffic (but that's not really his fault).

The place is just like what is pictured, really cozy, clean, and situated perfectly. I loved being within walking distance to the Metro, shops, main areas, bars, restaurants... close to everything fun and festive! You can easily drop off bags between sights too, if needed. The downside is that on weekends it's VERY loud at night with music and revelers even though it's on one of the quieter streets in Bairro Alto. Also be aware that the stairs are narrow(and the apt is up two short flights), so you may not want to pack too heavily if you're weak like me.

All in all, I loved staying there, and would probably stay again the next time I come to Lisbon!
