This place is great, I just loved it!!! Very well located in a typical portuguese neighbourhood. There are guesthouses in the area but it's not touristic. The shopping area, restaurants, bars and metro are close by, minimarkts can be found just around the corner. Within 10 min. you can walk down to the waterfront which can also be seen in the distance from the appartment. Everything of downtown Lisbon can be reached on foot. The train station to Sintra is around the corner. Coming to the appartment by metro you will have to walk a little bit uphill and climb some stairs but its no big deal. The appartment is bright and very cute. It's decorated with lovely details and offers everything needed (even a hairdryer and cable TV). The kitchen ist fully equipped with a a small seating area. The bedroom also offers a sofa and a small cupboard. The appartment is small but big enough for 2 people. It's very clean and homey. Even though I didn't meet Mafalda, communication with her was very quick and she was very helpful as well as her mother was.
