Helena was the perfect host and the flat was perfect as well. We stayed for Christmas and Helena gave us a typical Portuguese Christmas cake as present. The apartment has a lot of space, the kitchen has everything you need to cook a great dinner (even for Christmas Eve), the rooms are very nicely decorated and very clean. Helena was very helpful. As I have never been Lisbon, I did not know how perfect the location was, could not have been better. For my mother, who is not doing so well with walking, the two lifts in the neighborhood were perfect (one going down to sea level and one up in the direction of the castle). Would definitely go back!
