When I travel, I expect a different experience and look first for matches to how people actually live: Life beyond tourism. Lee's flat allows that in the fullest sense. I was on the fifth floor of a residential apartment with probably 9 other flats, which meant, on my way up I bumped into families and couples and had a few brief but rich conversations with locals. The flat itself is just as represented in the photos. No noise, no mold, nothing negative I am 6' tall and wasn't bothered in the least by the built-into-the-roof feel; in fact I loved that feel. The views of the city are amazing and available from 3/3 of the flats windows. The real strength of the property is the location though--an easy walk to the Rato subway for coverage of the whole city, but in the immediate area I took several walks for 1-2 hours enjoying the architecture, materials and people. If you don't mind climbing 5 sets of stairs a couple of times per day, this is the perfect place from which to experience Lisbon. (By the way, if you're from the US and long for more permanence and authenticity in materials and architecture, the stair climb -- beautifully-worn oak stair treads underfoot and iron handrails smooth with wear to the touch -- will wind up being one of the more satisfying experiences of the trip. Yes, I know I'm weird.)
