I cannot but start the review of my stay by my praise for Ana. She is a superlative host, extremely helpful you will go beyond that extra mile, very responsive, honest communication, understanding and a rock solid business ethic while dealing with her guests. I had the pleasure to meet her in person and you cannot but leave with an impression that you are dealing with a friend. To me what was remarkable was with Covid travel restrictions/ changing Govt. advisory I would not know until the last moment if there would be any delay in travelling into Portugal from the US and she said she would work with me if any delay did occur. And she has no obligation to do that! And this is just after I made the reservation a lot in advance. After my arrival she sent me many recommendations and always went over and beyond for any questions I had. In fact I had to return an item which I could not take care of before leaving Lisbon and Ana graciously took care of it.

In terms of the location of the apartment, it is in Mouraria so if you are looking to be in the historic and older part of Lisbon this is ideal. A few of the traditional dines / tasca’s that attracts locals and tourists alike are literally next door. The most sought after Tram 28 starts right from Praca Figuerio barely 5 minutes walk from the apartment. The apartment itself is a small cozy 1-bedroom and very tastefully decorated and all the appliances etc. worked very well. The Wi-Fi/internet, especially important to me since I worked remotely for a bit, worked perfectly. The apartment also has a sofa-bed which is quite useful. The apartment was very clean.
Just bear in mind that apartment has a lower ceiling height but the kitchen has a window with a very nice vista of the city and the living room has big windows which adds to the roominess. I did end up staying for 5 weeks in the apartment and really enjoyed my stay. The neighboring flat had two Portuguese grand mom who always said hallo and smiled every time I ran into them on my way out or in. Small experiences but makes your stay fell authentic and personal. I would absolutely recommend it for a couple/single person to stay! And having Ana as your host is icing on cake 😊
