If I could give six stars I would. I'm not given to hyperbole but we got really lucky here...

The other reviews say it all - beautiful apartment that is very accurately represented by the pictures and the description - a truly fantastic base for a weekend that we were lucky enough to discover coincided with one of the biggest party weekends in Lisbon.

Great locals bars/cafes - as recommended by Manuel/Maria Rita, a great supermarket close by, just round the corner from the castle etc

But above all that was the kindness that Manuel showed on our last morning. It was 5.30am and the taxi that he had ordered on our behalf to take one of our group to the airport for an early flight hadn't turned up, so he got up and drove her there himself. It really was above and beyond the call of duty and so very kind. Only added to our impression of Lisbon as a truly fantastic city, populated with unbelievably kind and friendly people.

We really were so lucky to have found this apartment, and Maria Rita & Manuel, all the thank yous!
