Ilda's apartment in Lisbon was perfect for me and my sweetheart. The bed was so comfortable, the space heaters kept us toasty warm, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The location was excellent. Just a few minutes from Martim Moniz, where you can catch a bus or ride the metro to any place in the city. There is an outdoor escalator that takes you right up to the alfama just off of Martim Moniz. There are small markets that have the essentials very close by, and a Liedl supermarket just a short walk away. Ilda was a great host, meeting with us, getting us settled, giving us a map and helping to orient us to the city. Ilda made Fado reservations for us and the music and food were superb. We absolutely loved our time at Ilda's, and will always have fond memories.
