Teresa is a wonderful host, and our stay in her beautiful apartment was perfect for our first visit to Lisbon. For starters, the apartment is even cuter and more spacious than it appears in the pictures. It’s located in a vibrant part of the city just a couple short blocks from the action, so you have all the benefits of restaurants, clubs, shopping, and public transportation without any of the noise or hassle. If you like walking, you’re perfectly situated to explore any area of the city … and the first thing Teresa did was give us a map of Lisbon and walk us through where we were, the must-see places to visit, and how to get there. She’s also provides a detailed guide for her guests with great recommendations for restaurants, grocery stores, sightseeing, and more.
Two pleasant surprises about the apartment were the airiness and the quiet. The skylights provided excellent airflow, and we barely used the AC even when the temperatures hit mid 80s F, 30+ C. That said, the AC worked great the couple times we wanted it. The apartment is also peaceful and quiet because it is set off from the street and most of the bright sunshine comes from the skylights.
Finally, Teresa herself is super friendly and helpful, and obviously takes great pride in providing a beautiful and comfortable home for her guests. We couldn’t have asked for a better host or apartment!
