We stayed in the apartment for five nights in September and had a fabulous time. The initial key hand off was easy and Sonia gave us a tour of the place. The apartment was spacious with a living room in front complete with a balcony overlooking Lisbon and the river. The bedroom is in back so it's well insulated from the street noise but if you're staying in Barrio Alto then you shouldn't be expecting silence anyway. Restaurants, night life, super markets, pharmacies, bakeries, public transit, etc are all nearby. I would book this apartment again.
