Our flight was delayed and we have no mobile phone reception so had to rely on Ricardo, and he had arranged for a friend to meet us at the flat so it was a big relief when we got there.
The apartment was exactly as described. I've seen some people complain about their stairs but if they are too steep for you then my advice would be to stay away from Lisbon - you're climbing up hills and down stairs everywhere you go!

I for one am glad i didn't stay away from Lisbon - i had a wonderful time in a beautiful city, and i would recommend Ricardo's apartment to anybody considering doing the same - it's pretty much the perfect location if you like the traditional part of the city, as I did.
