We loved Maria's apartment. It was our first time in Lisbon so it was great to be met by Maria at the apartment. The flat is a good size with two doubles and a single bedroom; perfect for us. It's light, airy, comfortable and very clean. The location is great, 50 yards from Se Catherdral, on the 28 tram route, with shops and restaurants on your doorstep. There's a small convenience store for water and snacks 10 yards away. Pois Cafe is a minute's walk down the hill. You can see the River Targus, too. The apartment is on the fourth floor but has a modern lift so access is easy. There are only two downsides, both of which are minor but worth noting: 1. Being on the tram route makes it quite noisy, which could be an issue for light sleepers who, like us, prefer to keep windows open at night in hot weather. But close the triple glazed windows and it's fine. I suspect most locations in Lisbon are much the same. 2. The unusual layout means that you can't access the bathroom from the double bedroom nearest the road – which feels like the master bedroom – without going through one of the other two bedrooms. It wasn't a problem for us as my 7 year old daughter occupied the single bedroom, but it could be for some. A group of friends, perhaps, might find that awkward, especially when 'caught short' in the night. Overall, though, highly recommended, and Maria was a lovely hostess.
