We did not meet the host himself, but we met Ines and she was very kind and helpful. She showed us around the place, gave us some great recommendations for places to eat and was very easy to get a hold of by SMS. I can't say a lot about the place itself. Its nothing glamorous but when I travel I don't need my place to be fancy, just clean comfortable and well located. Because if you're spending all of your time in a fancy room somewhere, you're doing it wrong. This place has a beautiful terrace as well.It is shared but there was never any one out there. And if there were it would be great to mingle with the neighbors. This place was just what we needed it to be. I love Lisbon and we had a blast. Thank you!
