Lisbon Colours Bairro Alto Apartments (Lisbon, Portugal)

This location will give you a real feel of historic Lisbon. All of the famous sights are within reach by foot or metro and the nearby streets have tons of shopping, restaurants and bars. You could not ask for more!

Guests have praised the management for providing not only functional apartments but beautiful ones at that!

The management boasts a very helpful staff, so helpful in fact, they'll help you carry your luggage up the stairs to your apartment to make up for the lack of an elevator.

While the location is sublime if you like to be in the middle of all of the action, the neighbourhood is located on several hills or inclines and you may have to walk up and down various steps to get around the neighbourhood if you do not take public transportation.

The management's website does mention that they do not have a lift, however, for some guests, the climb up to the fifth floor was quite a feat. If you have trouble walking up stairs then you should request to have an apartment on the first or second floor.

The area is famous for nightlife, and while the apartments have double-glazed windows, you still might hear some noise from the streets below. If you find that you might be a light sleeper then it may be wise to bring some headphones with you. Although, most guests were not bothered at all.
