We felt that Paula’s apartment was surprisingly spacious, more than the pictures revealed. She is an accommodating host who ensured that the apartment was sparkling clean prior to our very early check-in. The apartment is ideally located in hilly Lisbon with access to two public elevators, one to descend to the lower portion of the city and one to ascend to the old Castle. (Both elevators are less than two minutes from the apartment building door.). The latter elevator has a great small supermarket at its base. The neighborhood is quiet and has interesting shops and cafés.
