We had a great stay at Teresa’s place. The apartment is as-described: comfortable for two people, with a kitchen that is small but well-equipped enough to cook meals, and some natural light at the front and back. The outdoor space was nice to have, though the neighbour has some very noisy birds so we mostly used it to dry laundry (having a laundry machine in the apartment was great) and less to sit outside.
The location is good. There was not a lot that we wanted to see or do right outside our door, but the old part of town is a 10-min walk away (uphill, but that’s the case for lots of Lisbon!). We found that the 28 tram, which services that part of town, was very crowded with tourists, so we mostly opted to walk. Bring good shoes! There was lots of other convenient transit close by, too, so getting to interesting parts of the city was possible using those buses. The street on which the apartment is located was quiet and felt very safe. There are also multiple small stores on the block, and a larger grocery store 10 min away.
Teresa was EXTREMELY warm and responsive during our stay. As soon as we arrived, she met us and sat us down to describe what we could do as visitors to the city. The tarts and bottle of wine she left us were lovely gifts.
