The location of this flat was perfect, being right on the edge of Bairro Alto and Chiado. This provided easy access to trams, shopping, markets, etc. The nightlife is less than 5 minutes away. Alfama is a short tramway ride where it's great to just get lost in the neighborhoods. If is very hilly and lots of cobblestone streets and sidewalks so bring good walking shoes.

The flat itself was very plain and ordinary, more like a professional or short-term rental than a BnB. This made it feel less like a home and more like a hotel. There is NO parking that's easy nearby. The street is all reserved for locals, but there are garages a short distance away. One takes CC and is more expensive, the other is run by the city and quite reasonable. Recommendation is if you don't need a car, don't get one for the visit and just use local transport from the airport.

Overall, Tomas was very responsive to our needs providing us a welcome greeting, map, discussion on good places to visit, restaurants, bars, etc. We had a minor issue which he took care of quickly for us.
