Ms. Cardoso immediately made us feel at home. We had asked to book on short notice due to another arrangement not working out. She was vary accommodating and we immediately felt well taken care-of. Through excellent communication we compromised on everything for a total win-win. The apartment is very spacious and well decorated. Space heaters kept us just warm enough and had the added benefit of being mobile. The location could not be better for walkers - the hills provided our daily aerobic exercise. Maria Rita is a native whose love for her city is obvious - she knew every little trick to make life better for her visitors. The elevator near the grocery store that eliminates the arduous hike up the hill was just one. We all enthusiastically recommend this home for your Lisbon visit.
