Maria is a wonderful and friendly young woman who made our stay in Lisbon a magical one. Honestly, Lisbon was our favorite place on our EU tour, and Maria and her loft were the primary reason for that. Aside from all of the modern amenties that you would come to expect that are offered in her flat (i.e. A/C, kitchen, wifi, washer/dryer), the location itself is perfect. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, Maria was extremely helpful and gracious with her time and knowledge on Lisbon. She even helped make some reservations at restaurants which was very nice and appreciated. Her loft is in a very great location, and is a great place to call homebase while you explore this historic city. Definitely recommend taking a tuk tuk around, and they are easily reached from her flat. Her guidebook is really detailed and has wonderful suggestions for restaurants and attractions in the area. There is no lift in the apartment building which can provide problems for certain people, but not for us, we enjoyed the daily stairs workout. And for that balcony with that breathtaking view, we would walk 10 stories to see that! The view of Lisbon and the 25 de Abril bridge are truly picturesque and quite breathtaking, especially at night. We also appreciated the bottles of wine that Maria left for us :) Would definitely recommend Maria's flat, and we want to visit Lisbon again just to stay here again. Gracias Maria, obrigado!
