First of all, this apartment is in a perfect location! Such easy walking distance to many areas, and a cheap Uber ride to others. The lobby is clean and open and the stone steps are gorgeous. The elevator wasn't working when we got there, but it was repaired during our stay. Even still, the apartment is only up one flight of stairs, so it wasn't a struggle for us to carry our luggage. The apartment is clean and white, with simple decorations so it's lovely and peaceful, and it was immaculately clean. Tons of storage in the bedroom for a longer stay (I wish!) and the bed was very firm, which we like. The kitchen had basic amenities, the bathroom is big enough for two people to use, and the shower is lovely with excellent pressure and plenty of hot water. We did multiple loads of laundry, as Lisbon was part of a longer trip for us and we greatly appreciated the large drying rack we found in a cabinet and the heated wall rack in the bathroom. The only disappointments were the tiny bar of soap in the shower, the half roll of toilet paper, and lack of laundry detergent. We had to make a point to swing by a major grocery store on our way home from dinner the first night. Maybe check with Paula in advance to see if it's normal to bring your own. Also, if it's hot out, make sure you understand how to use the AC remote as soon as you arrive - we never did get it to work. I'm sure Paula would have fixed it (it seems someone may have set the timer on it), but since our stay was in February, it wasn't too bad with the windows open at night. Paula was immediately responsive to phone calls and text messages, which makes her an excellent host and we highly recommend staying her place!
