We had absolutely brilliant time at Maria's apartment and in Lisbon. The space has been beautifully restored and full of history.
The apartment is in an excellent location and we managed to walk everywhere (apart from Belem) within 15 minutes.
Maria was a excellent host. Nothing was too much trouble and the custard tarts and bottle of wine on arrival were a lovely touch.
Just a few tips. The apartment is on the top floor with no lift so you do have to walk up quite a few flights of stairs. It is totally worth it though.
The air conditioning unit does vibrate a bit so if you are a light sleeper you will need to switch it off.
We would definitely recommend Maria's place and Lisbon to all our friends. We had such a great time.
