Maria was a lovely host, very welcoming and helpful throughout the stay. Because of a taxi strike on our day of arrival Maria even collected us from the station! The apartment is in a beautiful old building and in wonderful position just below the castle. Access up and down to the city centre was very easy via 2 public elevators (even for my 88 year old father!). There an excellent supermarket and 2 great restaurants very close by. If you want to experience the wonderful city and people of Lisbon this apartment is in the perfect position and with the perfect host
