Apartment in Bairro Alto 1 - Lisbon Charm

Ideal apartment for 1 / 2 people, centrally located in Bairro Alto, very close to shops, restaurants and bars

Poor WiFi connection

The flat itself is beautiful, spacious, well-kept, decorated very nicely, and well-furnished. The host is easy to get a hold of and responsive to any questions or requests. This flat is extremely well-located right in the heart of Barrio Alto. If you’re not familiar, this is Lisbon’s party central, so do be aware that at night this is NOT a quiet neighborhood. During the day it's pretty calm, and the apartment has modern double-paned windows and even a secondary shutter that together are very effective at keeping out 95% of the nighttime party ruckus, but do keep in mind you will still hear some of it.

Only 2 issues really: - The internet connection provided here is not real broadband but rather just a mobile hotspot, so the speeds and connectivity go up and down. I had to restart the hotspot about 3 times during my stay cuz it stopped working entirely. The connection is probably fine if you just need internet for just casual browsing but if you are like me and need a solid fast connection for work (e.g. VoIP, teleconferencing, etc) it is really insufficient. - Also, about 2 months before my booking, I wanted to shift my stay by two days (same length of stay, just two days earlier) and the host informed me that while he did have vacancy, he would not honor the existing nightly rate of the reservation and would have to charge me their new nightly rate which was significantly higher, which is kinda a shady practice if you ask me.

Location Host Hair straightener in the bathroom Coffee

Very thin doors and so when neighbour gets home, you think he's standing in your apartment Additional blanked was missing

The location is near the center and party streets. The local people are very friendly.

The apartment is suitable for 2 people/couple, not more. They extra charge for late check in (1-2 hours). A lot of problems with the front door to opening. WiFi not very good. The owner is not very reacheable.
