We (me and my boyfriend) had a great stay at Maria's appartement! Maria waited for us in front of the building when we arrived by taxi and showed us her perfect, cosy appartement. A bottle of red wine was provided, that made us feel very welcome. After she gave us the keys and all the explanations we needed, she left the appartement and moved to her own house - just besides the appartement we were in. If we had any questions, we could send letters via a clothesline:)
We could check out when we wanted and Maria gave us lots of time to grab our stuff and get ready for the flight (our flight was in the evening). It made us feel comfortable and not stressed at all:)
The appartement is even more pretty than it looks like at the pictures and the street it's in is a traditional, beautiful one.
If we come back to Lissabon (and I think we will!) we will stay at this place again, because it is the perfect balance between privacy and contact with the host.
We definitely recommend this appartement and the city Lissabon. You 'll have a wonderful stay in your own appartement in the middle of the most beautiful neighbourhood of Lissabon!!
