Maps were provided during our check in with a brief introduction of Lisbon. It was a good overview as this was our first time.
Apartment's location is uphill but you will soon get used to it (there are 7 hills in Lisbon). It is convenient, minutes walk to Baixa Chiado and Rossio.
There are no air conditioning in the house so we have to open the window to allow cool air in to the apartment. The area is known for its nightlife so it gets noisy even till the wee hours. Having said that, so long as you have all the windows closed, you pretty much can't hear what's going on outside. But as mentioned earlier, we visited during summer and it may get stuffy and warm in the room with the windows closed.
Apartment is well equipped. Tap in the kitchen fell off but Maria fixed it quickly - impressed by her efficiency.
View from master bedroom was a pleasant surprise. Remember to catch the sunrise over Castelo de Sao Jorge right at the bedroom window!
