Sandra is a thoughtful and accessible host. She and her mother did much to ensure a good stay. The apartment is a 10 minute walk from a train station and farmer's market as well as in a neighborhood of shops, restaurants, and bakeries. It is well located for access to the river, shopping, and sightseeing. We met many people in the neighborhood who were welcoming and kind to us. The amenities in the apartment were more than enough to make our trip easy. We would definitely return to stay at Sandra's and have already recommended it to some friends who are planning to visit Lisbon.
