First and foremost, Thais is a friendly and welcoming host, who made sure that I felt relaxed throughout my stay. My small room was absolutely perfectly adequate for my week's stay, and everything in the apartment was kept imacculately clean.
It's on the second floor of a relatively quiet street, at a lower level than some of the main roads, and there are many well-priced restaurants nearby. I loved tramping the streets of Lisbon, and because Thais's place was only two metro stops from one of the main tourist centres, it was in an ideal location. I ate out most evenings but it would have been quite possible to cook in the apartment.
If I visit Lisbon again, I would most definitely check to see first if Thais's room was available. Very many thanks.
