We just returned from a 4 night stay at Erina's apartment. Wow!!! Her apartment is indeed 5 stars!!! The apartment was one of the main highlights of our trip. I would happily return to Lisbon again just to stay there.

The location of the apartment is excellent! Smack in the middle of Baixa, just parallel to the Rua Augusta, yet we were not disturbed by noise in the apartment. Walking distance to the main shopping area and restaurants of Baixa/Chiado, trams at the doorstep, metro a short walk away, and Rossio about 5 minutes away (for trains to Sintra). There is a supermarket just downstairs as well for everyday items.

Everything was perfectly prepared for us. Erina provided us with a cot, high chair, baby bath, baby shower gel and even some toys to entertain our 15 month old boy. And to add to that, she even came to pick us up from the airport with a baby car seat!!! We were slightly delayed arriving, and it was just lovely to be greeted by such a friendly and welcoming host.

As for the weary adults, we found portugese custard tarts, port, nut liquor, a bottle of wine, lots of beers etc waiting for us in the apartment.

The apartment was clean and just impeccable. Just book!

Thanks Erina (and her parents) for the wonderful stay.
