The apartment, although smaller than anticipated, was very clean and in a superb location. We only had to walk a few meters to be right in the middle of lots of activities. Everything we needed was in walking distance or easily accessible by metro, tram or train. The information provided by the hosts was very thorough and quite useful. Communication with the hosts was excellent and quick. And, we were greeted with a lovely box of very good chocolate. We have been to Lisbon a few times, staying in different parts of the city, but this was definitely the best location. However, being located near the action had its downside. The back door to a restaurant is right under the living room window, so noisy trash removal (lots of bottles) and loud workers were a constant early morning issue. If you are an early riser this is not a problem, but it was for us. On the other hand, although there are several restaurants nearby as well as a bar, the noise at night was minimal.
