From the outset more than expected was offered and in turn greatly appreciated, including information about the apartment and Lisbon, & a money saving tip on getting a taxi from the airport.
Apartment was well fitted out, more than expected incl complementary food & wine & welcoming Portuguese tarts (nata). More like someone's new home rather than a sterile apt. Great bath towels. Carlos obligingly met us at the apt and showed us all the facilities.
Good location. It's a little way out of the city centre, but the metro is just down the hill. A well stocked supermarket is 1-2 minutes away.
Finally, we need to acknowledge J&C's understanding (& refusal to take any more money) when we had a sudden change in dates of arrival & departure. Sorry Carlos for the inconvenience of having "to meet us" twice.
In summary, a great experience & a beautiful apartment.
