Maria was extremely helpful from the minute I booked this listing, making sure we knew how to get to her apartment from the airport, arranging that someone would meet us on arrival, sending useful information about the neighborhood and Lisbon. Maria kindly gave us a tour of the neighborhood, and she was delightfully well-informed and helpful. We might have fallen in love with Lisbon anyway; Maria's hospitality certainly helped a great deal!
The apartment is very comfortable and well-appointed, and there were lovely small touches that made it feel both like home and exotic. Great neighborhood, with good restaurants and very centrally located. Be prepared for a steep climb up the stairs to the apartment; what awaits you there is well worth it! An excellent stay, and Maria is one of the best Air BnB hosts that we have encountered. She goes out of her way to make sure everyone is happy and that one's stay is all you might wish it to be.
