Raphaela and her team were extremely welcoming, arranging a taxi from Lisbon airport. We were met by a hospitable welcome to Lisbon: tips for the neighbourhood; some delicious Portuguese pastries (be careful, they're addictive); a tour of the apartment, all delivered with a smile and a kind word. We enjoyed the location very much: everything was in walking distance. People in this neighbourhood of Portugal are extremely friendly and obliging, and the architecture and weather were super. The Barrio Alto is a hop across the road, and a ten-minute walk takes you to the river. The rooms were cool and quiet. Snap this one up if it suits! Desmond
