Carla is an amazing host! We stayed at her apartment as a couple and both loved our experience. We arrived late due to a delayed flight (midnight) and were let in with a warm welcome! The area is right in the middle of the Barrio Alto, which is the fun party district and people stay out past 1/2am. Great having the AC as it was super hot outside (we were in Lisbon in August). The shower has excellent water pressure and the laundry worked well. Location-wise it's also an excellent area too as we were in between principe real and baixa/Chiado so didn't have to walk as far each time we went up the hill to the many restaurants and shops in principe real. Carla made everything easy- she's super communicative and she provided amazing restaurant recommendations. She was also able to order a taxi for us for our 7am flight. She's warm, helpful and pleasant. We loved staying at her apartment and would highly recommend!!
