We were greeted at the apartment by Herve's kind wife, Manuela, who provided us with maps and explained the immediate area as well as how it related to the larger old city. Tips on the location of shops/groceries and activities that would be happening nearby were much appreciated. The apartment itself is perfect for two, bright and spotlessly clean. We cooked a few times and had all necessary items to do so. It was most helpful at that point in our two week journey to have the washer/dryer. The location was terrific (one block up from that fabulous flea market!) - easy walking distance to Commerce Plaza, all kinds of local transportation, etc. Quiet at night for good sleep. All in all, it was a great choice for our stay in Lisbon and we'd happily stay here again. Thanks, Manuela!
