We have had such an amazing time in Maria's apartment! We were welcomed and explained everything of the apt and the area. The best parts of the city are within walking distance but even going to other areas is easy thanks to all the transport being within reach. We went to Cascais and Sintra for a day easily. We have found the most amazing bars and restaurant around. And spoke to the neigbors, which all made us feel quite 'local'. The apt itself is great for the purpose: easy to see the city, cute and not too big. We adore the Portuguese for their friendliness and love of wine and food and their gorgeous country in general. Thanks Maria, we had a great time!
