Maria's apartment is a great base for exploring Lisbon. It was very clean and perfectly located in the Principe Real neighborhood. It has a small kitchenette and washing machine which were really nice to have on our week long stay. We were able to walk to many sites and other areas, and there were a few options for metro stations within a 10-15 minute walk. The terrace was great for coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. We visited during the Santo Antonio Festa, which is perhaps the biggest party of the year in Lisbon...we were close to the festivities, but the apartment was set back on a quiet street when we were ready to rest. Maria was a very kind and helpful host, always very friendly and responsive.
