The apartment was exactly as advertised and our hosts were as gracious, helpful and friendly as others have said. It was uncharacteristically rainy in Lisbon during our stay so it was also a bit cold in the apartment which does not have central heating, but our hosts did provide a space heater which helped as well as an umbrella. We had our 1 year old with us and so they also provided us with a lovely crib with bedding, high chair and bath tub which helped us out immensely. Manuela also did us the favour of booking us a taxi to the airport (about a 10 Euro trip) as we were leaving very early in the morning.
