We greatly enjoyed our stay at Cristina's apartment in Lisbon. Her place has many lovely touches, is carefully maintained, and very comfortable. Cristina's friend Anabela was there when we arrived and explained things we might wonder about (like an unfamiliar coffeemaker). After a long day traveling, we really appreciated the welcome basket with fruit, cheese, crackers, wine and some sweets.
Cristina's apartment is located in a neighborhood where residents outnumber tourists; there are restaurants and a small grocery store nearby that also has excellent fresh fruits and vegetables. (The strawberries were particularly tasty.)
I highly recommend Cristina's apartment to anyone visiting Lisbon (and who is able to climb stairs).
