The apartment was very bright and Carlos was an amazing host. He picked us up from the airport (with an additional fee) and gave us great tips about Lisbon as well as insight about the growth of the area from a local’s perspective. He carried my bags and showed us the wonderful space. He also provided water, wine and pastel de nata and candies. He explained everything about the apartment in detail and quickly responded when I texted him.
The apartment is on the 4th floor with only very steep steps to access it. But all of Lisbon is very steep and hilly do get ready to walk! The apartment has two bedrooms, one full bathroom with a tub and a living room and full kitchen. There was a heater built into the back bedroom and also a portable one that we moved into the living room. We were in a central location with a short walk to the metro or train station and everything else. Just be aware that on Saturday nights it does get loud until about 3am. Other nights it was fine.
