Maria's place is beautifully located if you want to explore Lisbon as most attractions are a downhill walk from her place! Maria is a lovely host, and even if she doesn't speak much English she does so well to give you information about the city (that she is very passionate about!). Maria's son speaks perfect English in case that causes you worry. Nina, the resident dog is lovely as well. The only downside is that it can get hot without AC at night. Overall, would stay again if in Lisbon.
