Our host was very quick to answer correspondence before our arrival and then he actually met us at the airport for a quick trip to the apartment. The apartment was exactly as shown in the pictures, except that the view was more spectacular. We could have stayed in the apartment all day and all night and had a wonderful time. But no, all of Lisbon was just a few steps away. There was plenty to do in such a delightful neighborhood and most things were just a few blocks away or easily gotten to by metro, bus, tram or trolley. Marvelous base for our excursions. The apartment was incredibly clean and no personal stuff in the way. We ate many breakfasts on the balcony - yes, it was December- and enjoyed the Nespresso machine provided. I can't say enough great things about this place and how pleasant the hosts were. Loved it.
