Maria was a great host. She did everything she can to accommodate us in regards to check in time as well as making sure we have a planned holiday by giving us recommendations. Couldn't ask for more. Her apartment was clean, quaint and full of character. It was close to major shops, restaurants and the beautiful bay area where the Tagus river meets the Atlantic Ocean.
I wished she had AC, especially with the summer weather. But her fan did the trick at night. My partner hoped that she had a single bed for the two of us instead of two twin mattresses pulled together. But we made it work. It was like we were in the episode of 'I Love Lucy'. It took us two days to realize that the dark stairwell leading to her apartment had a light switch with a timer, after an allotted time, after turning it on it turns off by itself to conserve energy. Which is actually a brilliant idea.
We recommend her apartment for any couple or two friends eager to explore the city. Saúde!
