Communication - Was excellent. Maria and Rita were so friendly throughout the whole experience and prompt to reply. They organised taxis, gave great suggestions on places to go and were just so helpful. At one point, the internet went down due to a fault in the cable outside the apartment block (not the fault of the host at all) and they took every step to solve the problem as quickly as possible for us.

When problems arise that are out of anybody's control all you can expect is that the host will be willing to help, and they were absolutely excellent.

Room - Eveeything about he room was beautiful. Modern kitchen. Clothes washer with dryer. Big walk in wardrobe and bathroom with a nice big bath!

Location and view - Stellar. As close as you can possibly be to the action (4 min walk) whilst still getting a good night sleep. On our last night, we set up a couple of chairs next to the window and listened to a very good orchestra practice across the road whilst having a drink and watching the sunset over Lisbon!

Next time I'm in Lisbon my first order of business will be to make sure I get this room again!
