Elisabete's cozy apartment is well provisioned, very clean, centrally located, and hosted by a friendly, helpful host.
The newly decorated flat has a small kitchen with sink, refrigerator, range, electric kettle, ?oven?, toaster, plates and bowls, silverware, glasses, and dish drying rack. A breakfast table seats two. The attached living room has a TV and other entertainment equipment (not used), good wifi, a sofa, a fan, and some floor lamps. The bedroom's king-sized bed is comfortable. The bedroom also has two small closets for clothes, an iron, and a clothes drying rack. The bathroom has a clothes washer, which proved useful; a sink; a shower which would be small for large people; and a toilet. Tall people should be aware of the sloped ceiling near the toilet.
Missing is a place to store open suitcases. Having more than two open suitcases would fill the flat.
Lisbon can get warm. The flat has no air conditioning, but the floor fan plus opening the windows and door proved adequate, especially with cooler temperatures at night. Note the windows and door are at ground level. Also, neighbors sometimes smoke.
The flat is located along an alley secured by a common locked street door. The numerous neighbors along the alley were quiet. I did hear the upstairs inhabitants' walking around when it was quiet.
Lisbon is full of hills and steps, including sets of steps in the alley. Those having difficulty negotiating steps should not visit Lisbon. Also note the sidewalks in Lisbon can be quite slippery.
The flat is nicely located near the historic center. Reaching newer parts of Lisbon including shopping centers requires a walk, metro ride, or taxi ride. Reaching it from the airport via the very clean and efficient Metro was easy. One must use a mapping app to navigate the 0.5km walk from the Rato Metro station.
Elisabete was very helpful, sending a list of places to visit and checking in on me via SMS almost daily. Her good spoken and written English facilitated communication. She waited patiently when I was delayed by a late flight and slow airport passport control. She even arranged an early morning taxi to the airport; it arrived before its scheduled time.
If I return to Lisbon, I would definitely stay in the clean, well-provisioned, comfortable flat.
