Claudia was extremely helpful and gave us plenty of tips about the local area. The apartment was lovely and spacious with all the mod cons. The area was based in a quieter part of town, but still only a 10-15 minute walk from a variety of bars and restaurants. The 28 tram was on our door stop which took you to Alfama, but even so you could walk this in about 30 mins.
All in all Claudia gave great recommendations about where to go and what to do - if I go back to Lisbon I would definitely stay at Claudia's again as she was such an accommodating host.
