Angela is a wonderful hostess. She was extremely helpful in all ways, communication was excellent, and she's just a really lovely person, very warm and caring.
The apartment as such was also very nice, and totally met expectations. Clean, modern, well equipped. Quite beautiful. The apartment is in a quiet residential neighborhood, with many fine restaurants within walking distance.
I want to mention two points that people should be aware of. One is the extremely steep stairway up to the 3rd floor (4th floor in US counting). I knew that there is no elevator, but I did not know just how steep those stairs are nor how high the steps. From floor to floor there is no landing in between, it's a straight shot up. Older folks or people with knee or hip problems should not consider renting this apartment. For me it was a bit of a problem to make it up and down those stairs.
The other potential issue is that there is another rental apartment above this apartment, and that sounds (heavy foot steps and moving around of furniture) are quite audible. A lot depends on the person living above, and on the owner of the upstairs apartment making her renters aware of the situation.
In all we enjoyed our stay in Lisbon. It's a great city, with many wonderful places to explore, and the Portuguese people are friendly, open, and very helpful.
