Vania is an excellent host. We appreciated her welcome, the wine, the maps, the page of Lisbon advice that she had typed out with local shops/restaurants, places of interest; things to do and see in Lisbon, etc. The apartment was clean and well equipped - everything we wanted was there. When we had a query about the internet Vania returned our call promptly. It is a great apartment for two, near the Metro, and in Alfama. A great base for exploring Lisbon.
