A lovely, apartment with a large living area, and everything we could want for our one week stay in Lisbon.
Communication beforehand was excellent, and as our stay approached, Nora sent through a number of handy guides and links. She met us at the apartment and explained where everything was, how it worked etc.
There are a few flights of stairs up to the apartment, but they're what my wife (who suffers from a bad hip and knee) referred to as "easy stairs" as they're wide and not too steep. Certainly nothing to worry about.
Everything was provided, including toiletries should you forget your own, plus coffee machine, kettle, toaster, microwave etc., and the washer/drier meant that in future (hopefully we can stay at Nora's place when we're next in Lisbon) we'd not need to bring as many clothes.
Nora provided some great recommendations for places to eat, and general advice. We've been to Lisbon many times before, but never stayed in this area, so this was much appreciated.
The location/area itself is fantastic. You're a gentle stroll away from the centre of Lisbon, with busses and trams stopping nearby in the street, and it's a perfect place to start a day of exploring from.
There's a bakery/cafe two doors away, where we bought delicious fresh pastries for breakfast each morning, and a good range of other shops and supermarkets nearby. Quite a few of the smaller shops/cafes are closed on a Sunday, but there are plenty of other options.
Many of the doorways you pass in the immediate area during the day open up as little bars and cafes in the evening, and there are some real gems to be found. We made a point of eating in a different restaurant, and drinking in different bars every night, and were never once disappointed. It's always tempting to go back to the same place when you've had a lovely meal, but you're likely to miss out by doing so. The one night we did consider this, we changed our mind as we walked by another small restaurant, and ended up having what was our favourite meal of the trip.
Communication throughout our stay was effortless, and Nora set up a WhatsApp group for us, which worked really well, and she responded to our questions almost immediately.
We had a fantastic stay in Lisbon, and Nora's apartment was perfect for us. When we're next there, this will definitely be our first choice of place to stay.
