Maria and Rita were very accommodating and helpful hosts both before and during our visit. The apartment is as described so there were no unpleasant surprises! Located not far from Rossio Square it was handy getting to and from the airport. The apartment is spacious, clean and comfortable. There are a couple of restaurants outside on the street but the windows are modern and exclude the majority of the noise. The kitchen is well equipped and was easy to cook a meal without the need to improvise or purchase obvious things like salt, pepper, etc. (FYI, the grocery shop Pingo Doce off Rossio Square, although meant a walk back up steps, had everything that you might want). And after walking and climbing lots of steps in Lisbon, the elevator in the building is a very welcome sight. I would definitely recommend to family and friends.
