Susana is the young woman who takes care of the apartment and guests on Daniel's behalf and she was a lovely person. She welcomed me so warmly, even after a little mix up on timing when I arrived early. She gave me names of places to go eat, left me her phone number, recommended a wonderful fado bar and gave me suggestions for sights not to miss. She also told me where to buy the best pasteis da nata, just up the road, and I became addicted!
I loved the light, the all round balcony, the shutters, old wooden floors, half tiled walls, the view over the river! That was why I originally chose this place and I was not at all disappointed. It is on old building but immaculately clean and cared for, given its age. The location is perfect.
I also liked the quirky different lamps for the evening, and the bed was super comfortable, as was the couch. The kitchen had all you might want, even an iron, ice cube trays, kettle, modern toaster and IKEA dishes.
I had a little difficulty at the beginning with the outside door key, this is an old building, but Susana showed me how to handle it, and with a bit of jiggling I got used to it and could do it every time.
I definitely recommend Daniel's apartment to everyone who is looking for a lovely home in Lisbon!
