Lara is very responsive, quick in communication, helpful by giving recommendations and tourist advises. I felt well taken care. She is an excellent host. The apartment is also friendly and welcoming. The only drawback I found was a tiny bathroom with shower under the stairs - could be a nuisance for tall people. Kitchen is well fitted with all you need for cooking if you do so or using microwave and coffee maker for a quick bite. The apartment is in walking distance to Alfama, Baixa Chiado and Tejo, and metro and tram station, but not in the top tourists places so it makes it very convenient to use for sightseeing and calm for relax at the same time. There are many bars around with Indian cuisine, but also local food. All in all, very good experience.
