We stayed for a week at Helena's place in Lisbon, there were three of us and we were extremely comfortable with the three bedrooms and two baths. The place was clean, well equipped, and amazingly well located. We were right near everything! Pico Dolce supermarket was right at the bottom of the elevator. We could walk everywhere. Views from the apartment were incredible. We really felt like locals staying there. We shopped, we cooked, we did laundry and we hung stuff out on the line to dry. We really got a feel for the area and the culture. Part of Costa du Costello was closed for construction so that made for some navigation challenges, but we worked them out. Helena was extremely responsive, and fixed a window latch for us, answered some questions on how the appliances worked, and left us some great tips/travel guides. It turned out to be a much better trip than expected. Make sure you see Alfama, go to Sintra from Rossio (about a 15 minute walk to the train station, we went back twice). The Gulbenkian museum is recommended, we walked to in about 58 minutes but you can take public transport. We did some wonderful tours as well. Fatima day trip with a guide was great, even if you are not religious. Overall, you can be confident staying at Helena's property that you will get a great place at an excellent price and feel like a local.
