We had a lovely time! Lisbon was amazing and Vera was so friendly.
The location is close to a metro and not a super long walk to the center (you will be walking a lot more than the distance anyway). The walk up from the metro is pretty steep with a suitcase but totally fine any other time.
They were very accommodating with our early arrival flights by letting us drop our bags off during the cleaning so we could go out with out having to carry everything around. The living room could use more seating or a coffee table but we had a wonderful time just hanging out together chatting.
Side note: the restaurant Sommelier just down the block was AMAZING.
