Sofia is one of the most welcoming hosts I have met. She made me feel at home and was very helpful with local recommendations and even helped me to find parking (which I was glad of as it isn't the easiest place to get parking). I appreciated the personal touches. I liked the kitchen the most as it was so well-equipped. The bedroom is at the back, so quieter than I expected at night. The noise on the street didn't bother me at apart from the butchers two doors down, which was only for a while in the early morning (you might also get a whiff of meat - which some people might actually like!). If you can afford it, I would recommend splashing out on Sofia's upstairs apartment which is brighter and has more ventilation (a lot of houses around Lisbon don't get much air flowing through them).
