The apartment is well situated in the heart of Lisbon, with easy walking access to many wonderful sites and a broad range of shops, restaurants, and bars. The neighborhood is an active one, so not what you'd describe as a quiet area, and there is some street noise. But I liked the vibrancy and energy of the neighborhood, and I would stay there again the next time I'm through Lisbon. Also, the host was super helpful and responsive, and the apartment was well-appointed and comfortable. A great experience for me.
