Maria was a great host. Our original check in time was 4pm but Maria kindly brought that forward to 1pm which allowed us to drop our bags off earlier which was very convenient. Maria’s communication was very clear and prompt and we also received many great recommendations about restaurants and places to see nearby. The location of the apartment is very convenient , near to the Bairro Alto district but not too close where noise is a problem. Also very near the station if you plan to travel to Sintra. Be warned that the apartment is a penthouse on the 5th floor and there is no lift. As other reviews have said. However this does lead to wonderful views from the apartment so if you don’t mind the exercise then this is not an issue! The apartment was clean , had a fully equipped kitchen in case you wanted to cook meals rather than eat out and even had a small outdoor seating terrace. If you are planning on visiting Lisbon I would recommend this apartment to stay in!
