Pros: Paula is a wonderful host with a warm smile and plenty of suggestions on what to do in Lisbon. Her place is in a vibrant, local neighborhood that makes your stay feel authentic. The apartment has a beautiful balcony and useful amenities like a washing machine and coffee maker.
Cons: The shower. It is a real challenge. Aside from the limited space, the water doesn't drain quickly enough and the shower curtain is a bit too long so it clumps up on the floor.
Overall: I would highly recommend it. My wife and I had an awesome time exploring Graca and nearby Alfama. The flea market was an excellent place for souvenirs (check out the tiles and vintage photographs). Paula was always speedy to answer questions about things like day trips and metro cards. We would not hesitate to come back. Thank you so much, Paula!
