Sofia's room and ensuite bathroom in Lisbon are tidy, cozy, and comfortable for the price advertised. And for those with heavy luggages, there is an elevator! The location of her apartment is also of interest and of great convenience because there are restaurants nearby such as YiMian Yuan which makes fresh noodles for your ramen in front of you starting at 6 euros. Uber is plentiful and from her address you can go to the other end of the city for 19 euros and sample the delicious pastel de nata at Pasteis de Belem (enter and get a table at the back if there is a long take-away line) or for less than 3 euros to the Museo Nacional do Azulejo. As for Sofia, she is very helpful and will respond to your messages. Communicate before and as soon as you land in Lisbon (a Vodafone counter at the airport can supply you with a SIM + mobile data for your unlocked GSM phone starting at 15 euros), but her free wifi kicks in if you stand outside her building door. Even though she was working, she met me during her lunch break to check me in and hand me the keys. All I can say is that the pastel-colored Lisbon is a city that I grew to love, and Sofia's home in a cul de sac makes it more memorable. I highly recommend her place and hope that you get to taste of "a vida portuguesa!" Obrigada, Sofia!
