Maria was a wonderful host, she met us at the apartment and gave us heaps of ideas of places to visit with lots of tips to help us get around easily and efficiently, this saved us a lot of time messing about and going to the wrong routes/places. The apartment was a good size, nicely decorated and great value for money. The location was great for us, you can hop on the tube into the centre in no time at all or you can walk, just make sure you know the correct route to avoid too many steep hills (Maria showed us on a map when we arrived). There are so many cool neighbours/sites around to discover as you go! There is a bakery just at the end of the road from the apartment and a supermarket near by. You can also walk a short distance to catch the famous tram if you want to see the sights this way (though it is often full of tourists and can be pretty slow at peak times). Lisbon is a beautiful place and this was a great base for us. Thanks Maria, for all of the extra help and for being so accommodating on our last day. :)
