We were met by Andre who was very thorough about house rules, the workings of various appliances, and gave great suggestions for various types of restaurants. The apartment is located is Baixa which is in the relatively flat area of Lisbon (appreciated after walking hills!). The place was well located near the Metro and other public transit. Plenty of restaurants, pastry stores, and grocery stores. The kitchen was well-stocked with cooking utensils and we made breakfast most mornings. The nice sized refrigerator gave us room to store wine and snacks. Martin was very responsive when we called about needing more light bulbs but even he was unable to make the DVD player work, which was too bad because we looked forward to viewing the various DVDs available at the apartment.
