Elsa was the perfect host. If you are looking for an experience in Lisbon where you are not in a touristy place but within walking distance of many of the major sites Elsa offers a warm welcome, a beautifully appointed and comfortable home away from home.
There is one caveat, however, if you can't manage the steep cobblestoned streets, you may have some difficulty.
If we return to Lisbon one day we would love to stay return to Elsa's home.
