It's true what the other reviewers said; this is so close to the heart of Lisbon. I really appreciated the good communication and the very accommodating, late check-in process too. A few other tips: 1. check out their other properties: to my pleasant surprise, I was moved to another apartment on the same block and it had more space and a terrace. 2. bring your walking shoes and pack light: you will have to walk up and down stairs and streets to access the apartment (cars can access it too). 3. ask them to show you how to use the gate lock: it isn't intuitive/similar to American locks. 4. visit their recommended neighborhood places: I loved Sr. Lisboa! 5. remember that there is no air conditioning: they have a fan and leaving the windows/doors open works great, but bring bug spray. 5. As with any city neighborhood, don't be surprised by a bit of morning construction and passerbys talking outside: during the night hours and with the windows/doors closed you'll surely sleep well
