Catarina‘s flat is small but well-equipped and had everything I needed. I stayed only for a weekend and for that, the central location of the apartment is great.
I had a problem checking in because the cleaning lady had forgotten to come by so there was no key and the apartment was not cleaned. I had to wait outside for about 45 minutes for the cleaning lady to come and open the door and then about 45 more minutes until she was done cleaning. Catarina was easy to reach though and she gave me a discount on my stay to make up for that.
Since the place is directly in Lisbon‘s party district, it was very loud at night. I stayed over a weekend and there were parties right in front of the house every night with about a hundred people and loud music. Good earplugs are an absolute must and it definitely helped that I also stayed out and got home quite tired, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have slept much.
Overall, my stay was nice and would have been great without those two issues.
