Maria is a great host. Her personality is the best. We had a delay fly and she waited for us many hours. We really appreciated her patience. I was surprise how much information she gave us the first time we meet. You can ask her anything believe me she can help you. After she gave you the apart keys you can contact her anytime for help. That was a great support .The apartment has a great location. Blocks away for metro, train, busses, taxi, markets, supermarkets, shops, restaurants and of course Fado night shows. ( learn how to short cut your way around using the " passageways or street stairs" in the middle of the blocks).
