Diana's friend Jorge met me at the apartment when I arrived. He was very friendly and helpfully explained each of the features of the apartment to me. Diana also kindly left a bottle of Portuguese wine, which was a nice surprise!

The apartment is great, and the inside looks just as it does in the photos. It is very modern and clean, and very well equipped with great appliances and bits and pieces. The views of the river and the nearby pantheon aren't really accessible when generally hanging out in the flat, but if you get up quite close to the windows and look out, they're amazing :-).

The location is perfect: only a few minutes walk up the hill from the nearest metro and train station (Santa Apolonia), and in the historic and charming Alfama district. There are plenty of little restaurants and bars within a five to 10 min walk, and it's not that far to walk all the way into the city centre.

I'll definitely stay again when I come to Lisbon next!
