My girlfriend and I stayed at Maria's apartment in mid-February. Maria was an amazing host. She was at the apartment when we arrived to provide a quick introduction, recommendations and a few special maps where Maria marked some of the best cafe's, bakeries and lookout points.

The apartment was very clean and comfortable. Very strong water pressure in the shower too. Maria took care of everything, including providing some electric heaters and extra blankets in case we got cold. Very thoughtful.

And yes, the location is perfect. We enjoyed some great live music at Alface Hall and the Spot... both just a 2 minute walk! Many restaurants, cafe's, bakeries and the famous tram 28 at your doorstep. It's also just a 5 minute walk north to a beautiful park and lookout point.

As for Lisboa in general, wear comfortable shoes. Everything is within walking distance and there are many hills and cobblestone streets. It's fun to explore.

I would certainly recommend Maria's apartment.
