I had been looking forward to staying at Isabel' s apartment, but due to flight times didnt actually get to meet Isabel.
My two friends who stayed with me described how polite, friendly and well travelled Isabel was. This was not a suprise to me as Isabel always came across as polite in all our correspondence.
She left a mobile, so that if we needed help we could call her, the fridge had food and she gave very clear instructions on how to get to the beach, where to eat and other various places to visit.
The apartment was very clean and has excellent views of the city/coast from both sides.
I would recommend a stay at Isabel's apartment and will try to stay there if I ever return to Lisbon.
