I have stayed in Lisbon before and I love the neighborhood. Very close to Baixa-Chiado and Principe Real, tons of bars and restaurants. The apt is located across from the music school, so it cn get loud at night. I liked it, since there was music during the day, and i can block off the noise, generally or you can just close the bedroom door, but if you want R&R..it is not the right neighborhood. The stairs of the property are steep, which is not bad as it is on the 2nd floor, so it's not for everyone. The apt itself is well equipped and small but comfortable. I saw some reviews commeting about safety and drugs, but I am a woman and was staying alone and never felt uncomfortable-most of the center area can give off that vibe, but again, alway felt safe. Another plus, 2 laundrymats w/in 2 blocks.
