Staying with Maria was convenient, safe, fun, and homey. The apartment is in a great location—about a 15-20 minute walk to most places downtown. There's also public transit just a block or two away if you want to venture a little further. The neighborhood is beautiful and full of restaurants, bars, and nightlife. The room itself looks exactly as advertised and has a nice window and dark privacy screen. The shower is hot and has good water pressure.
The best part of the stay, though, was definitely Maria. She also lives in the home and so she reminded me of a roommate during my time there. As a solo female traveler, it was so nice to come home and have someone sincerely ask about your day and get excited about your plans for the next day. Maria is passionate about Lisbon and had tons of great ideas and obscure recommendations based on where I was going and what I wanted to do.
