We stayed at Elsa's apartment with 3 adults and a baby for a few nights around New Year's 2013-4. Both the apartment and Elsa were wonderful and we highly recommend them for your stay in Lisbon!

The apartment was cozy and with nice modern/vintage interior design; the kitchen was modern, well-equipped and spacious; the bedroom was nicely isolated from the living room by a corridor and the bed was very comfortable; and the apartment is in an old residential neighborhood which gives you a nice view of the "real" Lisbon. The only downsides were that the bathroom is only accessible through the bedroom (minor inconvenience if you have someone sleeping in the living room too), and that it is some way uphill through small streets to walk to the apartment, tricky to access by car. But to find such an apartment in the heart of Lisbon was truly a blessing for us on our journey.

As for Elsa, she is just the sweetest and most generous host we have encountered yet. Not only was she always very quick and to-the-point in her communication, but she also proactively came with suggestions to smoothen our transport problems (getting to the airport very early with a loooot of luggage and a baby) and even gave us a free bottle of wine, a fruit basket and a Christmas cake! We had a good connection from the start with Elsa as well as her kind mother, and have no doubt that Elsa will take good care of any future guests. Highly recommended.
