The apartment is every bit as good as the pictures. Cristina was a wonderful host and concierge. When we were having trouble getting reservations for Fado dinner, we texted her and within minutes she had taken care of it and texted back our confirmation.

Clearly she has taken the time and effort to make her apartment feel comfortable for her guests. Clean and spacious with a well appointed kitchen, plenty of towels, laundry and drying racks, earplugs (the street is quieter than some but it is still Barrio Alto)... the apartment has all the little things that are easy to overlook but you miss them when they are not there. Oh, and nice wine glasses too!

The location is really great for exploring the area -- very close to all the major attractions. Bica lift is just down the street. There is a mini market nearby. And just a couple blocks away is a fantastic creperie that should not be missed.

We had a great stay and would love to stay at Cristina's apartment again!
