Maria and her husband met us when we arrived. They were very nice and kind to us. They spent a lot of time with us going over a notebook that they put together of local places to go which we really appreciate. The unit has a washer in it which was very helpful to us as well as an enclosed porch area to dry the clothes in the sun. The apartment is quite spacious with two large bedrooms, a nice sitting area and a large kitchen. We were in the apartment in April and it was cold and rainy when we arrived. The apartment was a little hard to keep warm during our stay. The location is a bit remote from the center of Lisbon. It requires a bus ride of almost 5 euros for two people and also a 20 minute Metro subway ride.
