Rita's assistant Fernanda made us feel very welcome. We caused her a bit of trouble by getting there later than expected and by accidentally locking ourselves out, but she was there to help us through it and was very pleasant about it. She was extremely hospitable and helped us find shopping areas, as well. We truly enjoyed our stay. Fernanda greeted us with wonderful treats of bread, drinks, cheese and fresh fruit upon our arrival. This was very welcome after our long journey. The apartment is beautiful and at a very nice location. It was very clean and there is a wonderful bakery and market across the street. We enjoyed being able to enjoy the quiet of this place, but were driving (or train) distance away from Lisbon.
