I would thoroughly recommend staying at Patricia’s place. Although it isn’t in central Lisbon as described on the advert, it is in very easy travelling distance of the centre, in a quiet residential area. As a female solo traveller, I felt safe in the area. I particularly appreciated Patricia’s kindness in allowing me to drop off my case early and to leave my luggage at the apartment after I checked out before my evening flight so that I did not have to take it with me. The apartment itself is well kitted out with appliances, and I was especially pleased to find that there was a kettle. I also appreciated Patricia’s thoughtfulness in setting up a small Christmas tree in the apartment! One small point to note is that as with most homes in Lisbon, there is no central heating (something I’m used to in the UK), and so at times it became rather cold. You may want to bring a hot water bottle if you’re travelling in the winter.
