We originally planned to make our own way to Ana's apartment from the airport but ended up booking a transfer through Ana, and were really glad we had! Miguel picked us up from the airport and took us straight to the apartment. He was really friendly and suggested places to go in Lisbon during the drive. Ana's sister Mariana was waiting for us at the apartment and showed us around the place, told us where the nearest food shops were and gave us her mobile number in case we had any queries.

The location of the apartment was great. We did a lot of walking but the No. 28 tram stopped near the apartment too which was handy.

The apartment was light and airy, and was warm, but a big fan that was provided did help to cool us down. We kept a couple of the windows open at night - the only downside of this was noise coming from the street - the alleyway seemed to funnel the noise straight up to the apartment from the street level. The noise went on until the early hours of the morning, and was a bit annoying (although I do realise that this is something that is outside of Ana's control!)

Overall we really enjoyed our stay in Lisbon and would love to go back!
