Rita was a great host from the start - the booking process was easy and simple, her response was quick and very warm. She and her boyfriend Helder were very welcoming, and open to additional arrangements we needed. The apartment was perfect for the two of us (could easily fit at least another person but ideal for a couple), everything was as described and more, the location couldn't be better - everything we intended to see was in walking distance, and if not the train, metro and buses are just a minute away. The street is very interesting and provides a complete Lisboa experience from restaurants, local shops and even street performers. All in all a very pleasant experience.
I only wish we could have stayed longer and enjoyed more.
I also have to point out a very nice touch from our host - complimentary breakfast in a local pastry shop with a lot of traditional Portuguese pastry which we tried along side the breakfast (they were to good to miss out on).

If we decide to come back we would love to stay at Rita's place once again and would warmly recommend it to anyone.
