The apartment we rented from Helena and Pedro was absolutely perfect. Not only is it well-situated, allowing us to take advantage of the plentiful options for public transportation, but the apartment was very modern, beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and upon our arrival we found that Helena had left us wine, juice, tea, crackers, fruit and freshly baked Portuguese bread. How welcoming! We really felt at home.

Helena and Pedro picked us up at the airport (how nice is that?)and took us on a brief tour of Lisbon so that we could better understand the layout of the city. Once at the apartment, they provided us with tourist information, great tips and suggestions for our visit in Lisbon, and answered lots of questions from us. We really enjoyed meeting them and appreciated how welcome they made us feel. Helena told us we could call her at any time if we had any problems or additional questions, which was very comforting. Helena also did a wonderful job of communicating with us by e-mail before we arrived in Lisbon, providing us with suggestions about day trips from Lisbon and transportation options.

We really can't say enough about their warm welcome and lovely apartment. We would definitely recommend their apartment and would definitely stay there again if we make it back to Lisbon.
