My partner and I stayed at Marias place between Christmas and New Years for a wonderful week long trip in Lisbon.
Check-in:
We had a late checkin due to our flight arriving around midnight. Maria was very accommodating and met us at the apartment to let us in and give us a run down of the place. She even researched and gave us a list of pharmacies with their location and hours where we could get a Covid test to return to the US.
The apartment:
The apartment is quaint and very cozy. It was a perfect getaway for the two of us and the views are amazing. The apartment stayed pretty warm in the winter and was provided a plug in heater as well that works great. Since it is a rooftop apartment, the ceiling are slanted in the bathroom and the bedroom. If you are 5’11” or taller, you may have to crouch in the bathroom. The living room/dining room is very cozy and an excellent use of space. The couch is comfortable and I enjoyed spending time reading there as there is a window directly above. There are two small balconies that are great to sit for coffee.
Location:
Lisbon is an incredibly hilly city. That being said, everything looked much farther on a map than it actually was. We were able to walk everywhere, and there are two great breakfast spots close buy (Copenhagen Bakery and the Seagull method). We spent 3/5 mornings at the Seagull Method because it really is that good!
To wrap up this review, I would definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for a cozy getaway in a great location with a wonderful host.
Thanks, Maria! We hope to see you again.
