Helena was a very friendly and attentive host. She was prompt & helpful in responding to our questions before we arrived and greeted us upon our arrival with a map and tips for getting around the city and to the beach. The apartment was as described with a beautiful view and well located to reach shops, restaurants, and the train station. Also, it has a very convenient market at the bottom of the elevator. The neighborhood appeared to be well-stocked with travelers, as we saw many during our coming and going throughout the day. Lisbon is a big city, though, and being vigilant and aware of your surroundings is always good. We enjoyed our time and appreciated all of Helena's efforts during our stay in Lisboa!
