This is a beautiful apartment right on the edge of Bairro Alto. I couldn't have picked a better location. There is a supermarket and cash machine 2 streets away. Very safe, very comfortable.

Teresa and Andy were away when we arrived but they were brilliant with communication. They also organised for us to be picked up from the airport by their friend Pedro (who is lovely) and our taxi when leaving.

You have everything you need in this apartment but it is on the top floor with no lift, so if you have mobility problems do not stay here. For everyone else, book it straight away. We were in heaven here and really did not want to come home.

Teresa had mailed us with recommendations for restaurants and places to see on our visit. She left us a bottle of wine (thank you!) and there was coffee, fruit and biscuits in the apt. There was lavender shower gel (use it - I got bitten the second night and when I started using the shower gel didn't get bitten again) and plenty of fresh towels, toilet roll, clean sheets & extra blanket.

On the shelves there are plenty of books and a box with all the tourist information you could possibly need. There is also a laptop and dvds but there is so much to do in this wonderful city you don't need them.

We were so grateful that our first experience of Lisbon was from this apartment, I highly recommend it, for the decór, location and especially the host.

If you haven't been to Lisbon, book this place. You will not regret it.
