Patricia was a perfect host. She was very responsive before the trip and when we arrived. We got in early in the day and she very kindly met us early and allowed us to drop the bags off so we could get out walking. The apartment was spotlessly clean, well designed, and had a great view of the water. Having a small kitchenette was perfect as we could make breakfast in the mornings and even dinner one night.
The location is right around the corner from Castello S. Jorge, which means as you enter and exit the unit you will draw the envy of tourists passing by. It was really fun to stay in a historic section of the city while still having an updated and clean apartment. The location made it very easy to walk everywhere around Lisbon especially Alfalma and Bairro Alto (we even walked to the Jeronimos Monastery, which might be a hike but is possible if you enjoy walking). The apartment is on a hill and up four flights of stiars; not an issue for most people but if you are less mobile or have a ton of luggage, something to consider. There is a Pingo Doce supermarket around the corner for needed groceries.
Thank you Patricia for your recommendations and for such a clean and well designed place!
