Cute, cute home right in the middle of everything. The location was perfect! The 150-year-old house was clean, and the host was fantastic. Just an FYI, if you are considering this adorable home, the bathroom shower is a tight squeeze. While my 5'2" frame was fine my husband (6'2") and two young adults (5'10" and 5'11" were not at all comfortable in the tiny shower. ;)

Great stay
Lovely apartment and it has everything you’ll need for a nice stay in Lisboa. Great care & comfort items were all there for us. Note; There are steep stairs to the main & sleeping levels & the shower is small. The neighborhood is lively but the soundproofing does a great job. We ran a white noise app and that did the trick for perfect night sleep. It’s right in the heart of the city by tram 28 and great shopping. So if you want to be able to walk right out & be in the mix, this is the place for you. The metro is right there too. Try the bifanas place, O Trevo it’s right on the corner.
If you are looking for a real home feel rather than a sterile condo, this is the place for you. The outdoor space off the bedroom is a great added bonus. The location is amazing - close to many bars and restaurants with several on the same street. The hosts are very welcoming and responsive. All good!!

Wonderful experience
Sara and Mario were great- Mario helped us find a full service laundry mat and helped with parking since we were totally clueless of the area. Apartment was adorable and our children (ages 8,11) loved their room with their own beds and skylight.We got in quite late after long travel and they had bread and fruit available for us to feed our kids before bed. It was so close to SO many cool things/ restaurants and we spent a whole day just wandering the neighborhoods. The soundproofing was great since it’s in a very central/happening neighborhood. We all slept amazingly well. Restaurant across the street was a great treat, as well. Such a great choice for our vacation.

Excellent location, very comfortable.
This property is in a great location. Sara and Mario were very helpful. The apartment is well equipped and although on a busy night club area, they have updated the apartment to include sound proofing and we had no problem sleeping.

Very pleased ... we will return
First, Sara and Mario made us feel right at home when we arrived, we were given the keys at the door, shown the living sleeping and kitchen areas and we were on our own. There were three of us total and there was more than enough room to enjoy each other's company or find solitude ... including the small balcony from the master bedroom.
Bairro Alto is a very lively area and gets loud on weekends. However with the special sound proof shutters that cover the windows at night we heard very little. Our party of 3 are all non-drinkers and after traveling the streets of Lisbon we were more than tired enough to hit a comfortable bed, shut the shades, turn on the AC, and get a good nights sleep ...and without the aid of ear plugs.
There are plenty of archeological sites, monuments and museum to visits, and as an amateur photographer what stood out to me were the hidden treasures, tucked away down narrow side streets. Many structures after the big quake are still standing. Many facades have been incorporated into the newer buildings, these can be remarkable architectural specimens ... I was often running to catch up to friends after getting lost in a alley taking pictures.
Portugal as a whole, is a beautiful place and not expensive, as say, Paris, but it's no less worthy of exploration. From Lisbon, the second oldest city to Athens Greece, to the small fishing villages, 2 hours up the coast, the colors of Portugal are amazing. Visit the Oceanarium, it's more than worth the visit ... the list of attractions is never complete.
Tip.
Maps of Lisbon can be deceiving, what appears to be 6 city blocks can be a 5 minute walk, everything we wanted to see in Bairro Alto was within walking distance
Wear good shoes, the streets and side walks can get slippery.
Like to shop? ... bring money, because the plazas are filled with clothing, shoe stores and all manner of retail sales... and they're everywhere and all within walking distance of the Rua Gaveas.
I purchased dress shoes for the wedding we attended ... I remembered 5 hours later, at the reception, that I had new shoes on... I was completely unaware. Beautiful shoes, comfortable and only 32 EUROs. Please.
Attention Sailors!
Gaveas, in Portuguese means, the Crow's Nest.
The view from Sara and Mario's 2nd floor balcony was my Crow's Nest ... a view that stretches, from Luis De Cameos Square to the Tagus river and beyond.
Lisboa a jóia de portugal
Aproveite!
