Great communication from the host ahead of check-in. José offered my group helpful recommendations for the neighborhood in Barrio Alto, and helped to assist my companion with an early check-in, as she had an early flight in to Lisbon. The apartment is clean and beautifully furnished, with a secure garage for our rental car. I do not much recommend driving around Barrio Alto- the streets are very narrow and loaded with pedestrians. Pretty nerve wracking. we just parked once and took metro/Bolt rides around the city. Unfortunately there was some terrible construction noise during the day- there is a MAJOR building rehab going on next door. Early morning jackhammering to the communal wall, yikes. Due to the noise, we were not able to complete our stay. Elda and Jose were understanding of how impactful the noise was to our ability to enjoy our vacation, and ameliorated the situation by accepting a cancellation request. Without the construction, this would be the perfect apartment for travelers new to Portugal that wish to explore the city in a trendy and centrally located neighborhood.
