First of all: I had a great stay at Maria's and will definitely contact her again the next time I am in Lisbon!

Even if contacted on very short notice (one day before my stay) she got back to me immediately, giving me the feeling I was really welcome. She's a wonderful host and very considerate leaving chocolates all around just in case of homesickness emergencies (where one would need some sweets :-)

Being located in the very centre of old Lisbon (metro station Baixa Chiado and Rossio place only 5 min. away), her flat is really typical Portuguese style and pretty close to a little, lovely dollhouse as you can see in the uploaded pictures which do match reality! It's so warmly decorated you feel at home immediately. What more can I say? I'm glad I met her!
