Mariana’s apartment is absolutely beautiful. It’s in a great location, within 15-25 minutes’ walk of many of Lisbon’s sights, restaurants and bars. We didn’t take the metro once to get around the city, though it seems like it would have been very convenient if needed.
The apartment itself is very nicely designed and is very spacious. We didn’t use the kitchen facilities but there was plenty of equipment and space to cook. Although the apartment is in/near a busy nightlife district, it was very quiet with the windows shut. Temperature in the apartment was never a problem. The stairs to reach the apartment are a bit of a trek, but are no worse than climbing a few Lisbon hills!
We didn’t meet Mariana personally, but the check-in process was very simple and our online communications with Mariana were all very clear and efficient.
Overall, it was a lovely stay and we hope to return in the future!
