Booking Maria's apartment went smooth en she was very responsive. She gave us lots of information about how to get to the apartment, nice restaurants and other usefull tips. We stayed in the loft with three friends for 6 days and because we also used the pull out couch in the living room as a bed, we all had our own bedroom. Maria's husband Gil received us and showed us around the apartment. Maria left u some delicious pasteis, fruit, etc. Very attentive.
The neighborhood is really great. Its in the city centre but not in a noisy area. You dit hear some street noise with the windows open, but that's normal in a city. I do think it can get a little bit hot in the summer months, but for us it was ok. During our stay, Maria kept in contact with us to see if everything was ok. Our flight back home was late in the afternoon but we could store our luggage in Maria's bar a few streets from the apartment so that we could enjoy our last day in the city without having to tag along our suitcases. We had a great time in Lisbon and Maria's loft! Thanks a lot!
