We absolutely loved staying in Helena's gorgeous apartment, and she couldn't have been a better host! The location is perfect - an easy walk to Praça do comercio, Rua Augusta, the 28 tram, the metro, the Rossio train station which takes you to Sintra, and many cafes, restaurants and shops. There's a supermarket right across the street that even has an elevator to take you up to the gorgeous castle Sao Jorge! The apartment is spacious and comfortable and Helena has thought of everything you might need, and despite being so central, it is lovely and quiet with almost no street noise whatsoever. Helena herself is a wonderful, thoughtful host who is more than happy to help with suggestions and advice. When I emailed her ahead of time asking her for advice and suggestions about what to do in Lisbon for Christmas she responded with photos of the beautiful christmas lights, links to restaurants offering special Christmas Eve dinners and all sorts of other helpful information. She met us at the apartment with more suggestions and ideas, and lots of helpful tips about how to get around and what to do during our stay. I cannot recommend this apartment, and Helena as landlord, more highly!!
