We had a truly wonderful time in the Cousins' apartment. The apartment itself is excellent, with everything we needed in great shape and working. Its central location in the heart of Lisbon made everything accessible by foot or via public transportation points a few minutes' walk away. We really liked being embedded in the local neighborhood, with a grocery just a couple doors down, a restaurant next door and another just around the corner and folks going about their everyday business all around us.
But best of all were the Cousins themselves, who were always immediately available with helpful advice by phone or email whenever we had questions about anything. Their warmth, generosity and flexibility shone through in every communication we had with them, qualities which seemed to be of a piece among the folks of Lisbon itself. We felt completely welcomed!
