This is a wonderful place to hang your hat in Lisbon. The location is superb, in the heart of the center of the city with everything accessible by a short walk or a tram ride, a Tuk Tuk or a local mini bus. The home is spacious and well stocked and the design elements are very nicely done - old tiles, high ceilings, a lot of natural light. Erina is gracious, kind and communicative and a good source of local information. Downstairs next door is a very good restaurant cafe - Moma Grill- a world apart from the more obvious tourist restaurants in the neighborhood.

For the discerning traveler, one other descriptive is necessary. We could not dispel a strong aroma emanating from the bathroom - the toilet and shower - of sewage. We let Erina know and she and her mother explained that at times when the Tejo river is high it can cause a backflow or something that results in these unpleasant aromas. It may be seasonal, I'm not sure. Worth asking about. This was one negative in a sea of positives and outweighed by the many good characteristics of the apartment and the hosts. We would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Erina.
