Five stars all around for Ana's place! We loved the warm welcome we received from Paula, who met us at the apartment before the posted check-in time to accommodate our morning arrival on an overnight flight. A selection of treats, including a small bottle of wine was displayed on the table, along with a guide to local restaurants, sites and transit. Paula gave us many tips about what to do and where to go in Lisbon, and also some much needed help on the pronunciation of local place names.
The apartment was spotless, colourful and charming. The beds, bedding, pillows and towels were cosy and fresh. The only small tarnish on the perfect mark was the occasional noise on the street at night--even with the windows closed, we were woken by some late night hooting and the nightly garbage truck. Once we learned to wear our earplugs, we slept well.
Paula arranged for a driver, Luisa, to take us back to the airport.
Thanks Ana and Paula for the lovely stay in Lisbon!
