Helena was a very friendly, responsive, and accommodating host. She went out of her way to get cleaning done early to let us check in early and offered to let us leave baggage late as well since our flight was later in the day.
The place was nice, perfectly as described. The bed was pretty soft, and the shower was small and less than perfect, but workable. The apartment is on an adorable little street with a couple cafes/restaurants within 10 minute walking distance to a lot of the nightlife in central Lisbon - it was maybe a little bit further out than I would’ve preferred to be, but as two women, we still felt pretty safe walking to and from the apartment from the main drags late at night. One thing that is described in the listing but I didn’t realize just how extreme it was, is that the stairs from the outside door up to the apartment are very small, steep and intense by American standards. If you have knee issues at all or other reasons you can’t do stairs, this isn’t the place for you. Overall though, the place was exactly what we needed! Thanks Helena!
