We booked Maria’s place for 2 nights because we wanted to be close to the heart of Lisbon. It was a perfect location and we loved how easy it was to get to her place straight from the airport by taking metro. The ride was about 25-30 minutes. Maria was like staying with your favourite aunt, very friendly and easy to talk to. She has a rescue dog named Nina that is very sweet; when you first meet her she will bark because she doesn’t like to sound of luggage but after that, she is fine. I recommend her place if you want to be close walking distance to the main districts of Lisbon but not pay the high price. If you plan to be out all day and are comfortable to stay with your Portuguese aunt, then Maria’s place is a great choice.
