Host:
Ana Clara is a great host. She greeted us with snacks, ginja, and a big smile. She was also probably the most accommodating host I have ever dealt with as far as check in and check out. She had some solid local tips of areas to explore. No problems whatsoever.
The space:
Ana Clara’s place was all we could ask for. Plenty of room for 2 people. Our favorite aspect was the location. It’s in the heart of the city center, making every attraction easily walkable. We were pleasantly surprised with how quiet it became at night. The restaurants and cafes below are not open too late, so the street noise is almost non existent after 11PM. If you’re into the late bar scene, the bar and club neighborhoods are certainly in walking distance, but it’s nice not to have to sleep in them!
The 2 small private balconies were also a nice touch. We took chairs out in the evenings to drink wine and watch street performers and pedestrians below. It’s a great way to unwind after a long day of exploring the city.
We didn’t find the many flights of stairs or support beams in the room to be a problem, but if someone in your party has physical limitations you may want to consider something more accessible. Otherwise it is the perfect flat to see Lisbon and I would definitely stay here again.
