Rita was very welcoming on arrival, informative about the city and also when we asked for more information regarding restaurants emailed us lots of choices. She was an excellent host and we knew we could contact her if needed. We loved Lisbon, the flat was a short walk to the excellent Metro system. We would suggest visitors buy a Lisboa Card on arrival at the airport. The flat was very comfortable with a balcony and small garden to sit out in . The area is a bustling, friendly neighbourhood but quiet at night. We used the very close local restaurant.
