Maria's flat was in a great location with lots of amenities. It even has a washer. Communication was great. She gave me an overview of the neighborhood. The only downside was that there is no central heating. Space heaters were available though. Not too much of an issue since I was mainly in the flat to shower and sleep. The loft style bedroom was not cold however. Not much noise from outside especially in the interior bedroom. Lots of public transportation close by. Shops, bars, and restaurants are convenient as well. A wonderful home away from home for my five night pre-Christmas stay in Lisbon.
