We had a great time at Maria's apartment. It was spotless, comfortable and beautifully decorated. The balcony is a highlight - lovely views and perfect for breakfast, drinks etc. The apartment was very well stocked (kitchen things, washing machine, iron etc), which made our stay really straightforward.
Maria was an excellent host. She was really helpful and understanding throughout, and made our visit a pleasure.
We loved Principe Real - great cafes, parks and shops, and a good atmosphere. It's also really close to Bairro Alto (good bars) and the centre is within walking distance.
We'd recommend it to anyone!
