Can you imagine how excited we were to get to Lisbon and arrive at Sarah's apartment??? I mean, come on, you've seen the pictures!!!! GORGEOUS!!! We booked months in advance; and for months, we stared at the website and all those exciting pictures longing for our holiday and our chance to stay in that absolutely beautiful apartment!! It is truly what it seems to be on the website. The architecture is magnificent and impossible to really get a feel for from photos. Walking through the old converted convent takes on a wholly different experience, one that surpasses any amount of web surfing.

...And there is off street parking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For us, we could not have asked for a more convenient location--Walking distance to so many great experiences. Do not miss having a light meal and wine in Principe Real's park cafe!!!!

The building was comfortably secure--the doormen made us feel as if we lived there full time--very nice people!!! Sarah's sister met us when we arrived and walked us through the house, grounds and kindly to the grocery store--she is very, very nice people, too!! And let's not forget the graciousness and adventure with which Sarah informed our stay there. Sarah, thank you for all of your amazing suggestions for us--everything was spot on!! Although we never got to meet you officially, you led us to the BEST meal we have ever had. If any of you travelers are looking to spend a wad on the best dinner of your life--definitely go to "100 Maneiras"!!!!!

In short...Our stay was fantastic!!!!
