I was met warmly on arrival at the appointed time. In addition to my host, a decanter of port wine and some delicious Portuguese pastries awaited me.
My host was most informative about the apartment and the neighborhood. She provided recommendations for restaurants and Fado clubs. The ones I tried were all excellent.
The apartment was comfortable, perfectly clean and well appointed. I especially appreciated that laundry detergent was provided. I didn't use TV, microwave or coffee maker. There was a lovely cafe directly across the street where I took my morning coffee and pastry.
