Helena was such an amazing hostess! She met my husband and I to bring us to the apartment and show us around the apartment. She gave GREAT restaurant and tourist information. She left us with bread, cheese, and wine, which was a nice treat! She really went out of her way to make us feel at home.

The apartment itself is in a very residential neighborhood - it's down one of Lisbon's trademark side streets, though not directly in the middle of the downtown area. It was about a 15 minute walk to Praça de D. Pedro IV (there is a GREAT walking tour of Lisbon that meets there!), and it was pretty close to Cais de Sodre. The apartment is very cute! The stairs to get up to the apartment are pretty steep, just something to be mindful of if that's something that would bother you - it was fine for us. There is a supermarket close by, and Helena has all the cooking equipment you need.

We loved our time in Lisbon, and we thought this apartment was great!
