Maria and her apartment are both lovely. We couldn't have asked for a nicer Lisbon home. Location wise it's a shirt stroll to the main strand - no more then 5/10 mins max. It's also right next door to the picturesque castle which makes for a lovely day out. The flat itself was more then equipped for our needs - there were only the two of us but with there being four other beds - we're trying to convince friends to book up with us again soon. The kitchen is stocked with all utensils - we cooked and made coffee each day. Maria also gave us recommendations - with one of the restaurants she recommend being our favourite meal of the trip. All in all we would whole heartedly recommend staying here - it's just far enough out to not feel touristy but close enough to get feel connected with everything. Finally Maria was super attentive - we had a bit of an issue with out flight over and she was really understanding and responded super fast :)
