Elsa's apartment was such a great place to stay! We spent three weeks there and everything worked like a charm. It's located in a local neighborhood in very cute Madragoa freguesia, probably our fave area in the whole city. There are lot of great restaurants, supermarkets, cafes etc just around the corner - no need to walk to the crowded Lisbon downtown at all.
The apartment itself was just what we expected, very cozy and nice with all the amenities you'd probably need while staying in Lisbon. It's a very nice and quiet building with a lot of local touch.
We had some unfortunate flight delays so had to re-schedule our arrival a bit. But it wasn't a problem for Elsa as she was super flexible with all that hassle. And what a sweet person she really is. Elsa really took hospitality to the next level by giving lots of tips and suggestions and being very attentive. We also had a super nice meeting over a cup of coffee when she told us lot of interesting deeper facts about local life and what's happening in Portugal generally.
Definitely will come back to her place when in need of apartment in Lisbon. All the best to you Elsa and Albertina and thanks for your great hospitality.
