We stayed at Maria's house for over 2 months while we looked for a permanent place in Lisbon and we could not have been happier. The apartment is incredibly comfortable and very liveable. We were there in the winter and we were always warm. The neighborhood was easily accessible to all parts of the city, with a grocery downstairs and some cute restaurants/ ice cream shops around. We liked that the neighborhood did not feel touristy at all, but still felt aspirational. Maria was incredibly easy to communicate with and when we locked ourselves out, she was very quick to get us let back into the apartment.
