Far before our stay (we were in Lisbon, staying in a different area) I had a medical (physical therapy) problem. I contacted Rita because she is a physical therapist. She was a great help in making me an appointment with an osteopath, giving me directions to get there, etc.

The night we arrived, she spent much time calling & giving us directions to a good restaurant that would be open & give us a "Lisbon experience".

Even before we arrived, Rita sent us a packet on how to spend time in Lisbon -- and later, she even sent us information on "rainy day activities" in case the weather turned unpleasant!

The small apartment is extremely well decorated & lovely. The bed is comfortable, & there is plenty of hot water in the modern shower. The kitchen is well-equiped, & there is even an iron & board in case you have wrinkles.

But the most outstanding thing was Rita's caring & helpfulness!
