We were 1 hour late on our arrival but our host Sheida didn't mind waiting for us. We also met her brother Rahim both very friendly. We rented the apartment for one month. At first it looked fine but we quickly realised how noisy the neighbourhood is particularly at night, with non-stop car traffic and drunk young people shouting until the early morning hours. Also climbing the steep stairs up to the 3rd floor three or four times a day was a tough exercise specially when carrying bags and drinks. The facade and the staircase look very ugly and old and need full renovation. The neighbourhood is very dirty with lots of paper and plastic bottles scattered in the surrounding streets. Some positive points; the apartment is about 1 km by foot to the heart of Lisbon and famous square "Praça do Comercio", many restaurants and cafés within a few minutes walk, 100 m from the "old" tram stop, 500 m from Bairro Alto etc.
